NAME

     pci - introduction to machine-independent PCI bus support and drivers


SYNOPSIS

     pci* at ppb? bus ?

     Other pci attachments are machine-dependent and depend on the bus topolo-
     gy and PCI bus interface of your system.  See intro(4) for your system
     for details.


INTRODUCTION

     NetBSD includes a machine-independent PCI bus subsystem and several ma-
     chine-independent PCI device drivers.

     Your system may support additional PCI devices.  Drivers for PCI devices
     not listed here are machine-dependent.  Consult your system's intro(4)
     for additional information.


SUPPORTED DEVICES

     NetBSD includes machine-independent PCI drivers, sorted by device type
     and driver name:

   SCSI interfaces

           ahc      Adaptec 29xx, 39xx, and other AIC-7xxx-based SCSI inter-
                    faces.

           bha      Buslogic BT-9xx SCSI interfaces.

           isp      QLogic ISP-1020, ISP-1040, and ISP-2100 SCSI and
                    FibreChannel interfaces.

           ncr      Symbios Logic/NCR 53c8xx-family SCSI interfaces.

   Network interfaces

           de       DEC DC21x4x (Tulip) based Ethernet interfaces, including
                    the DE435, DE450, and DE500, and Znyx, SMC, Co-
                    gent/Adaptec, and Asante single- and multi-port Ethernet
                    interfaces.  Multi-port interfaces are typically config-
                    ured as a PCI-PCI bridge with multiple de instances on the
                    PCI bus on the other side of the bridge.

           en       Midway-based Efficent Networks Inc. and Adaptec ATM inter-
                    faces.

           ep       3Com 3c590, 3c595, 3c900, and 3c905 Ethernet interfaces.

           fpa      DEC DEFPA FDDI interfaces.

           fxp      Intel EtherExpress PRO 10+/100B Ethernet interfaces.

           le       PCNet-PCI Ethernet interfaces.

           ne       NE2000-compatible Ethernet interfaces.

           tl       Texas Instruments ThunderLAN-based Ethernet interfaces.

   Serial interfaces
