39driver provides support for the EtherExpress Pro/10, Pro/100B, and Pro/100+
40PCI Fast Ethernet adapters based on the Intel i82557 or i82559 ethernet
41chips.
42.Pp
43The
44.Nm
45driver supports the following media types:
46.Pp
47.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
48.It autoselect
49Enable autoselection of the media type and options
50.It 10baseT/UTP
51Set 10Mbps operation
52.It 100baseTX
53Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation
54.El
55.Pp
56The
57.Nm
58driver supports the following media options:
59.Pp
60.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
61.It full-duplex
62Set full duplex operation
63.El
64.Pp
65Note that 100baseTX media type is only available on the Pro/100B and Pro/100+.
66For further information on configuring this device, see
67.Xr ifconfig 8 .
68.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
69.Bl -diag
70.It "fxp%d: couldn't map memory"
71A fatal initialization error has occurred.
72.It "fxp%d: couldn't map interrupt"
73A fatal initialization error has occurred.
74.It "fxp%d: Failed to malloc memory"
75There are not enough mbuf's available for allocation.
76.It "fxp%d: device timeout"
77The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
78the network connection (cable).
79.It "fxp%d: Ethernet address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff"
80In some Alpha's (AXPpci and Multia) you must tell the driver to use (slower)
81I/O rather than memory to access the card.
82Create, if it does not yet exist, and add to the file
