NAME

     wm - Intel i8254x Gigabit Ethernet driver


SYNOPSIS

     wm* at pci? dev ? function ?

     Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary.  See mii(4).


DESCRIPTION

     The wm device driver supports Gigabit Ethernet interfaces based on the
     Intel i8254x family of Gigabit Ethernet chips.  The interfaces supported
     by the wm driver include:

     +   Intel i82542 1000BASE-X Ethernet

     +   Intel i82543 1000BASE-X Ethernet

     +   Intel i82543-SC 1000BASE-X Ethernet

     +   Intel i82543 1000BASE-T Ethernet

     +   Intel i82544 1000BASE-T Ethernet

     +   Intel i82544 1000BASE-X Ethernet

     +   Intel i82544GC 1000BASE-T Ethernet (32- and 64-bit)

     In addition to Intel's own ``PRO/1000'' line of Gigabit Ethernet inter-
     faces, these chips also appear on some processor evaluation boards and in
     embedded systems.
