+.Sh NAME
+.Nm gem
+.Nd GEM/GMAC Ethernet device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device miibus"
+.Cd "device gem"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+if_gem_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the GMAC Ethernet hardware found mostly in
+the last Apple PowerBooks G3s and most G4-based Apple hardware.
+.Pp
+All controllers supported by the
+.Nm
+driver have TCP checksum offload capability for both receive and transmit,
+support for the reception and transmission of extended frames for
+.Xr vlan 4
+and a 512-bit multicast hash filter.
+.Sh HARDWARE
+Chips supported by the
+.Nm
+driver include:
