Here are some changes to the man page; I'm about to submit a patch for the supported hardware list. 1. Please MFC r1.21 of src/share/man/man4/fxp.4 - fxp.4.diff1 is a patch to do so. The microcode loading support that it refers to was MFC'ed in r1.110.2.8 of src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c. 2. r1.131 of if_fxp.c added support for the i82562 chip, and it was MFC'ed in r1.110.2.20. The documentation was not updated, so fxp.4.diff2 will do so. It applies to -CURRENT, and should apply to -STABLE once the MFC mentioned above has been done. 3. Most of the newer models of Intel cards aren't mentioned. fxp.4.diff3 updates the list, based on personal experience and http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity. It's dependent on the previous patches, but should apply to both -CURRENT and -STABLE. 4. All of Intel's docs call the cards "PRO/100", but all of the FreeBSD docs and source call them "Pro/100". Is it worth fixing? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: --- fxp.4.diff1 begins here --- --- src/share/man/man4/fxp.4.orig Sun Aug 18 14:27:51 2002 +++ src/share/man/man4/fxp.4 Sun Aug 18 14:34:57 2002 @@ -38,8 +38,8 @@ The .Nm driver provides support for the EtherExpress Pro/10, Pro/100B, and Pro/100+ -PCI Fast Ethernet adapters based on the Intel i82557 or i82559 ethernet -chips. +PCI Fast Ethernet adapters based on the Intel i82557, i82558, i82559 +or i82550 ethernet chips. .Pp The .Nm @@ -66,6 +66,20 @@ Note that 100baseTX media type is only available on the Pro/100B and Pro/100+.
