New manpages for various Ethernet drivers, that I didn't see manpages for.
Manpage police??? Looking kinda bored there aren't you? Need something to do? :-) I'm sure there's work here to be done. Inspired by: Joerg 2.2-R candidate after Mike gets thru with them.

+DEC DC21x4x Ethernet device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device de0"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the Ethernet adapters based on the Digital
+Equipment DC21x4x based self-contained Ethernet chips.
+.Pp
+It supports the DEC PCI DE435 card, DEC EISA DE425, DEC DE450, SMC 9332,
+ZNYX ZX314, and others based on the 21040 and 21041 Ethernet controllers or
+the 21140[A] Fast 100Base-T Ethernet controller.
+.Pp
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "de%d: waking device from sleep/snooze mode"
+The 21041 and 21140A chips support suppending the operation of the card.
+.It "de%d: error: desired IRQ of %d does not match device's actual IRQ of %d"
+The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different
+interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.
+.It "de%d: not configured; limit of %d reached or exceeded"
+There is a limit of 32
+.Nm
+devices allowed in a single machine.
+.It "de%d: not configured; 21040 pass 2.0 required (%d.%d found)"
+.It "de%d: not configured; 21140 pass 1.1 required (%d.%d found)"
+Certain revisions of the chipset are not supported by this driver.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Sh CAVEATS
+Since the 21040 is available on both EISA and PCI boards, one must be careful
+in how defines the 21040 in the kernel config file.
+.Pp
+.Sh BUGS
+Currently the driver does not support multicast.

+.Sh SEE ALSO

+.Xr netintro 4 ,
