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