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