+.Sh NAME
+.Nm tl
+.Nd Texas Instruments ThunderLAN 10/100 Ethernet device
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "tl* at pci?"
+.Cd "lxtphy* at mii?"
+.Cd "mlphy* at mii?"
+.Cd "nsphy* at mii?"
+.Cd "tlphy* at mii?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for PCI Ethernet adapters based on the Texas
+Instruments ThunderLAN Ethernet controller chip.
+This includes a large number of Compaq PCI-bus Ethernet adapters as well as
+the integrated Ethernet controllers built in to several models
+of Compaq Prosignia servers and Compaq Deskpro desktop machines.
+This driver also supports the Olicom OC-2135/2138, OC-2325 and OC-2326
+10/100 TX UTP adapters and the Racore 8165 10/100baseTX and 8148
+10baseT/100baseTX/100baseFX multi-personality cards.
+.Pp
+The ThunderLAN controller has a standard MII interface that supports
+up to 32 physical interface devices (PHYs).
+It also has a built-in 10baseT PHY hardwired at MII address 31, which may be
+used in some 10Mbps-only hardware configurations.
+In 100Mbps configurations, a National Semiconductor DP83840A or other
+MII-compliant PHY may be attached to the ThunderLAN's MII bus.
+If a DP83840A or equivalent is available, the ThunderLAN chip can operate
+at either 100Mbps or 10Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex modes.
+The ThunderLAN's built-in PHY and the DP83840A also support autonegotiation.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Bl -tag -width full-duplex
+.It autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+Note that this option is only available on those PHYs that support
+autonegotiation.
+Also, the PHY will not advertise those modes that have been explicitly
+disabled using the following media options.
+.It 10baseT
+Set 10Mbps operation.
+.It 100baseTX
+Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
+.It 10base5
+Enable AUI/BNC interface (useful only with the built-in PHY).
+.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.
+.It hw-loopback
+Enable hardware loopback mode.
+.El
+.Pp
+Note that the 100baseTX media type is only available if supported
+by the PHY.
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "tl0: couldn't map memory"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "tl0: couldn't map interrupt"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "tl0: device timeout"
+The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
+the network connection (cable).
+.It "tl0: no memory for rx list"
+The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
+.It "tl0: 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.
