NAME
sip —
SiS 900-based Ethernet
driver
SYNOPSIS
sip* at pci? dev ? function ?
Configuration of PHYs is also necessary. See
mii(4).
DESCRIPTION
The
sip device driver supports Ethernet interfaces based on
the Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900, SiS 7016, and National Semiconductor
DP83815 Ethernet chips.
The SiS 900 is found on many motherboards featuring SiS chipsets, and on some
embedded systems, and has a built-in PHY. The SiS 7016 is an older version of
the chip, which uses an external PHY.
The National Semiconductor DP83815 is found on NetGear FA-311 and FA-312
Ethernet boards, and has a built-in PHY.
