28.Nd ADMtek Fast Ethernet device driver
29.Sh SYNOPSIS
30.Pa /dev/afe
31.Sh DESCRIPTION
32The
33.Nm
34driver provides support for the Centaur and Comet families of Fast Ethernet
35PCI controllers originally produced by ADMtek and Infineon.
36.Lp
37These devices generally support the standard Fast Ethernet features, including
3810BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, both full and half duplex operation, IEEE 802.3
39autonegotiation, etc.
40They also support full size MTUs (1500 bytes), even when used with VLANs.
41Most of them also support flow control.
42.
43.Lp
44The device driver supports the
45.Xr ieee802.3 7
46properties, which can be configured with
47.Xr dladm 8 .
48.
49.\" The driver also has a "forcefiber" driver.conf setting, but this is for
50.\" very very obscure hardware, and we are not documenting this option
51.\" for now.
