+.Pp
+NICs based on the 8139C+ are capable of 10 and 100Mbps speeds over
+CAT5 cable.
+NICs based on the 8169, 8169S, 8168, and 8110S are capable of 10, 100, and
+1000Mbps operation.
+.Pp
+All NICs supported by the
+.Nm
+driver have IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload and hardware VLAN tagging/insertion
+features, and use a descriptor-based DMA mechanism.
+They are also capable of TCP large send (TCP segmentation offload).
+.Pp
+The 8139C+ is a single-chip solution combining both a 10/100 MAC and PHY,
+and its PHY is supported by
+.Xr rlphy 4 .
+The 8169 is a 10/100/1000 MAC only, requiring a GMII or TBI external PHY
+and some 8169 based boards have Marvell 88E1000 PHY supported by
+.Xr makphy 4 .
+The 8169S and 8110S are single-chip devices containing both a 10/100/1000
+MAC and 10/100/1000 copper PHY, which is supported by
+.Xr rgephy 4 .
+Standalone 10/100/1000 cards are available in both 32-bit PCI and
+64-bit PCI models.
+The 8110S is designed for embedded LAN-on-motherboard applications.
+.Pp
+The 8169, 8169S, and 8110S also support jumbo frames, which can be
+configured via the interface MTU setting.
+Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit jumbo frames.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Bl -tag -width 10baseTXUTP
+.It Cm autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+The user can manually override
+the autoselected mode by adding media options to
+.Xr rc.conf 5 .
+.It Cm 10baseT/UTP
+Set 10Mbps operation.
+The
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+.Ic mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Cm full-duplex
+or
+.Cm half-duplex
+modes.
+.It Cm 100baseTX
+Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
+The
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+.Ic mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Cm full-duplex
+or
+.Cm half-duplex
+modes.
+.It Cm 1000baseTX
+Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.
+The RealTek GigE chips support 1000Mbps in
+.Cm full-duplex
+mode only.
+.\" .It Cm 1000baseSX
+.\" Set 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) operation.
+.\" Both

+.It Cm full-duplex
+Force full duplex operation.
+.It Cm half-duplex

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+device driver first appeared in
+.Fx 5.2
+and was ported to
+.Nx 2.0 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Bill Paul Aq Mt wpaul@windriver.com .
+.Sh BUGS
+The Xterasys XN-152 32-bit PCI NIC, which uses the RTL8169 MAC and
+Marvell 88E1000 PHY, has a defect that causes DMA corruption
+if the board is plugged into a 64-bit PCI slot.
+The defect lies in the board design, not the chip itself: the PCI
+REQ64# and ACK64# lines should be pulled high, but they are not.
+The result is that the 8169 chip is tricked into performing 64-bit
+DMA transfers even though a 64-bit data path between the NIC and
+the bus does not actually exist.
+.Pp
+Unfortunately, it is not possible to correct this problem in software,
+however it is possible to detect it.
+When the
+.Nm
+driver is loaded, it will run a diagnostic routine designed to
+validate DMA operation by placing the chip in digital loopback mode
+and initiating a packet transmission.
+If the card functions properly, the transmitted data will
+be echoed back unmodified.
+If the echoed data is corrupt, the driver
+will print an error message on the console and abort the device attach.
+The user should ensure the NIC is installed in a 32-bit PCI slot to
+avoid this problem.
+.Pp
+The RealTek 8169, 8169S, and 8110S chips appear to only be capable of
+transmitting jumbo frames up to 7.5K in size.
