NAME

     pcn -- AMD PCnet-PCI Ethernet family driver


SYNOPSIS

     pcn* at pci? dev ? function ?

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


DESCRIPTION

     The pcn device driver supports Ethernet interfaces based on the AMD
     PCnet-PCI family of Ethernet chips.  The chips supported by the pcn
     driver include:

     ·   Am79c970 PCnet-PCI Single-Chip Ethernet Controller for PCI Local Bus

     ·   Am79c970A PCnet-PCI II Single-Chip Full-Duplex Ethernet Controller
         for PCI Local Bus

     ·   Am79c971 PCnet-FAST Single-Chip Full-Duplex 10/100Mbps Ethernet Con-
         troller for PCI Local Bus

     ·   Am79c972 PCnet-FAST+ Enhanced 10/100Mbps PCI Ethernet Controller with
         OnNow Support

     ·   Am79c973/Am79c975 PCnet-FAST III Single-Chip 10/100Mbps PCI Ethernet
         Controller with Integrated PHY

     PCnet-PCI chips are found on some Hewlett-Packard PCI Ethernet boards,
     and on the Allied Telesyn AT-2700TX PCI Ethernet board.  They are also
     found on some processor evaluation boards as an example peripheral.

     The pcn driver also supports the emulated PCnet-PCI interface provided by
     VMware.
