+.Sh NAME
+.Nm vge
+.Nd VIA Velocity 10/100/1Gb Ethernet device
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "vge* at pci?"
+.Cd "ciphy* at mii?"
+.Cd "ipgphy* at mii?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for various NICs and embedded Ethernet interfaces
+based on the VIA Networking Technologies VT6120, VT6122, VT6130 and VT6132
+Gigabit Ethernet controller chips, including the following:
+.Pp
+.Bl -bullet -compact
+.It
+ZyXEL GN650-T 64-bit PCI Gigabit Ethernet NIC (ZX1701)
+.It
+ZyXEL GN670-T 32-bit PCI Gigabit Ethernet NIC (ZX1702)
+.El
+.Pp
+The VT6120/VT6122 is a 33/66MHz 64-bit PCI device which combines a tri-speed
+MAC with an integrated 10/100/1000 copper PHY.
+(Some older cards use an external PHY.)
+The VT6130/VT6132 is the PCI Express version.
+The MAC supports IPv4 transmit/receive IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload,
+VLAN tag insertion and stripping, a 64-entry CAM filter and a 64-entry
+VLAN filter, 64-bit multicast hash filter, 4 separate transmit DMA
+queues, flow control and jumbo frames (not on VT6130/VT6132).
+The Velocity family has a 16K receive FIFO and 48K transmit FIFO.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver takes advantage of the IPv4 transmit/receive IP/TCP/UDP checksum
+offload, VLAN tag insertion and stripping, and the CAM filter support.
+The CAM filter is used for multicast address filtering to provide
+64 perfect multicast address filter support.
+If it is necessary for the interface to join more than 64 multicast
+groups, the driver will switch over to using the hash filter.
+.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 the appropriate
+.Xr hostname.if 5
+file.
+.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.
+Both
+.Cm full-duplex
+and
+.Cm half-duplex
+modes are supported.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:
+.Bl -tag -width full-duplex
+.It Cm full-duplex
+Force full duplex operation.
+.It Cm half-duplex
+Force half duplex operation.
+.El
+.Pp
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
