+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Media Independent Interface is an IEEE standard serial bus for
+connecting MACs (network controllers) to PHYs (physical media
+interfaces).
+The
+.Nm
+layer allows network device drivers to share support code for
+various PHY models, and allows unused support for PHYs which
+are not present in a system to be removed from the kernel.
+.Pp
+Network device drivers which use the
+.Nm
+layer carry the
+.Dq mii
+autoconfiguration attribute.
+This allows kernel configuration files to simply specify PHYs as
+described above in
+.Sx SYNOPSIS .
+.Pp
+The following is an example of the messages displayed when a network
+interface with an attached PHY is detected by the kernel:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+hme0 at sbus0 slot 1 offset 0x8c00000 pri 7: address 08:00:20:22:86:b8 rev 34
+nsphy0 at hme0 phy 1: DP83840 10/100 PHY, rev. 1
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Supported media types for the PHY can be displayed or set using the
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+.Cm media
+keyword.
