+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for PCI Ethernet adapters and embedded
+controllers based on the Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900 /
+SiS 7016 Fast Ethernet controller chips, and National
+Semiconductor DP83815 (MacPHYTER) / DP83816 (MacPHYTER-II) PCI
+Ethernet controller chips, including the following:

+.Pp
+The SiS 900 is a 100Mbps Ethernet MAC and MII-compliant transceiver
+in a single package.
+It uses a bus master DMA and a scatter/gather descriptor scheme.
+The SiS 7016 is similar to the SiS 900 except that it has no internal PHY,
+requiring instead an external transceiver to be attached to its MII interface.
+The SiS 900 and SiS 7016 both have a 128-bit multicast hash filter
+and a single perfect filter entry for the station address.
+.Pp
+The NS DP83815 and DP83816 are also 100Mbps Ethernet MACs
+with integrated PHY.
+The NatSemi chips and the SiS chips share many of the same features and
+a fairly similar programming interface, and hence are supported
+by the same driver.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Bl -tag -width full-duplex
+.It autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+The user can manually override
+the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
+.Xr hostname.if 5
+file.
+.It 10baseT
+Set 10Mbps operation.
+The
+.Ar mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Ar full-duplex
+or
+.Ar half-duplex
+modes.
+.It 100baseTX
+Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
+The
+.Ar mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Ar full-duplex
+or
+.Ar half-duplex
+modes.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:
+.Bl -tag -width full-duplex
+.It full-duplex
+Force full duplex operation.
+.It half-duplex
+Force half duplex operation.

+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "sis0: couldn't map ports/memory"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "sis0: couldn't map interrupt"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "sis0: watchdog timeout"
+The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
+the network connection (cable).
+.It "sis0: no memory for rx list"
+The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
+.It "sis0: no memory for tx list"
+The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring when
+allocating a pad buffer or collapsing an mbuf chain into a cluster.
