+.Sh NAME
+.Nm en

+device driver for Midway-based ATM interfaces
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device en0"
+.Cd "pseudo-device atm"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+device driver supports Midway-based ATM interfaces including the
+Efficient Networks, Inc. ENI-155 and Adaptec ANA-59x0.
+Midway is an ALL5 SAR (Segmentation and Reassenbly) chip.
+.Pp
+The driver only supports ATM PVCs. SVC or ATM-ARP is not supported.
+.Pp
+To configure the card for IP, use something like:
+.Dl # ifconfig en0 128.252.200.1 netmask 0xffffff00 up
+To add a PVC to a host you must use the ``route'' command:
+.Dl # route add -iface <remote IP address> -link en0:z.0.x.y
+where x and y are the byte encoding of the VCI to use, and z is the
+byte encoding of the following flags.
+.Dl 0x01 (use AAL5),
+.Dl 0x02 (if using AAL5, use a LLCSNAP header)
+Thus, parameter 3 means AAL5 and LLC/SNAP encapsulation.
+Note that BPF works only with LLC/SNAP encapsulation.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+Suppose you have 2 hosts 128.252.200.1 and 128.252.200.2 connected
+by ATM through PVC # 201 (0xc9).
+To enable the link use the following commands:
+.Dl on host 128.252.200.1:
+.Dl # ifconfig en0 128.252.200.1 netmask 0xffffff00 up
+.Dl # route add -iface 128.252.200.2 -link en0:3.0.0.c9
+.Pp
+.Dl on host 128.252.200.2:
+.Dl # ifconfig en0 128.252.200.2 netmask 0xffffff00 up
+.Dl # route add -iface 128.252.200.1 -link en0:3.0.0.c9
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "en0 <Efficient Networks ENI-155p> rev 0 int a irq 5 on pci0:16"
+.It "en0: ATM midway v0, board IDs 6.0, Utopia (pipelined), 512KB on-board RAM"
+.It "en0: maximum DMA burst length = 64 bytes"
+.It "en0: 7 32KB receive buffers, 8 32KB transmit buffers allocated"
+.El
+.Sh CAVEATS
+The driver extensively uses DMA on PCI. The first
+generation PCI chipsets do not work or exhibit poor performance.

+.Sh AUTHORS
+Chuck Cranor of Washington University implemented EN driver
+in 1996 for NetBSD.
