+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports Broadcom's NetXtreme II product family which is made up of
+the BCM5706, BCM5708, BCM5709, and BCM5716 Ethernet controller chips.
+Products using these controller chips include:

+.El
+.Pp
+The NetXtreme II product family is composed of various Converged NIC (or CNIC)
+Ethernet controllers which support a TCP Offload Engine (TOE),
+Remote DMA (RDMA), and iSCSI acceleration,
+in addition to standard L2 Ethernet traffic,
+all on the same controller.
+The following features are supported in the
+.Nm
+driver under
+.Ox :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+IPv4 receive IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload
+IPv4 transmit TCP/UDP checksum offload
+.\"jumbo frames

+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Bl -tag -width "10baseT/UTP"
+.It Cm autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+The user can manually override
+the autoselected mode via
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.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 1000baseT
+Set 1000baseT operation over twisted pair.
+Only
+.Cm full-duplex
+mode is supported.
+.It Cm 1000baseSX
+Set 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) operation.
+Only
+.Cm full-duplex
+mode is supported.
+.It Cm 2500baseSX
+Set 2500Mbps operation.
+Only
+.Cm full-duplex
+mode is supported.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:

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