+.Sh NAME
+.Nm gem
+.Nd ERI/GEM/GMAC Ethernet device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "gem* at pci? dev ? function ?"
+.Cd "gem* at sbus? slot ? offset ?"
+.Pp
+Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary.
+See
+.Xr mii 4 .
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the GMac Ethernet hardware found mostly in
+the last Apple PowerBooks G3s and most G4-based Apple hardware, as
+well as many Sun UltraSPARCs.
+.Pp
+Cards supported by this driver include:
+.Bl -bullet -compact -offset indent
+.It
+Sun GEM Gigabit Ethernet (SX fibre variants)
+.It
+Sun ERI 10/100
+.It
+Apple GMAC
+.El
+.Pp
+The GEM family supports hardware checksumming to assist in computing
+IPv4 TCP checksums.
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports this feature of the chip.
+See
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+for information on how to enable this feature.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+device driver appeared in
+.Nx 1.6 .
+Support for PCI SX fibre cards was added in
+.Nx 5.0 .
+Support for SBus SX fibre cards was added in
+.Nx 5.0 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An -nosplit
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Eduardo Horvath
+.Aq eeh@NetBSD.org .
+SX fibre support was added by
+.An Julian Coleman
+.Aq jdc@NetBSD.org .
+The man page was written by
+.An Thomas Klausner
+.Aq wiz@NetBSD.org .
+.Sh BUGS
+The hardware checksumming support does not support IPv4 UDP, although this was
+allowed prior to
+.Nx 5.0 .
+Also, the hardware IPv4 TCP receive checksumming support has bugs, so this is
+disabled.
+.Pp
+On the SX fibre variants of the hardware, the link will stay down if there is
+a duplex mismatch.
+Also, packet transmission may fail when in
+.Cm half-duplex
+mode.
