30.Sh NAME
31.Nm my
32.Nd "Myson Technology Ethernet PCI driver"
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following lines in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device miibus"
39.Cd "device my"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43module at boot time, place the following line in
44.Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.Bd -literal -offset indent
46if_my_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51driver provides support for various NICs based on the Myson chipset.
52The Myson chipset is a variant of the DEC Tulip NIC chipset.
53.Pp
54The driver will work with almost any MII-compliant PHY, thus failure to
55positively identify the chip is not a fatal error.
