26.Sh NAME
27.Nm iprb
28.Nd Intel PRO/100 Fast Ethernet device driver
29.Sh SYNOPSIS
30.Pa /dev/iprb
31.Sh DESCRIPTION
32The
33.Nm
34driver provides support for the Intel PRO/100 family of Fast Ethernet
35PCI controllers. This includes support for Intel 82558, 82559, 82550,
36and 82551 parts, as well as certain controllers found on certain Intel
37southbridge controllers (ICH2 and ICH3).
38.Lp
39These devices generally support the standard Fast Ethernet features, including
4010BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, both full and half duplex operation, IEEE 802.3
41autonegotiation, etc.  They also support full size MTUs (1500 bytes),
42even when used with VLANs.  Some of them also support flow control.
43.
44.Lp
45The device driver supports the
46.Xr ieee802.3 5
47properties, which can be configured with
48.Xr dladm 1M .
