28.Nd Macronix Fast Ethernet device driver
29.Sh SYNOPSIS
30.Pa /dev/mxfe
31.Sh DESCRIPTION
32The
33.Nm
34driver provides support for the
35Macronix 98715 family (including the Lite-On PNIC-II) of Fast Ethernet
36PCI controllers.
37.Lp
38These devices generally support the standard Fast Ethernet features, including
3910BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, both full and half duplex operation, IEEE 802.3
40autonegotiation, etc.
41They also support full size MTUs (1500 bytes), even when used with VLANs.
42.
43.Lp
44The device driver supports the
45.Xr ieee802.3 7
