+.Nd
+ethernet device driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device ie0 at isa? port 0x360 net irq 7 iomem 0xd0000 vector ieintr"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm ie
+driver provides support for 8 and 16bit ISA ethernet cards that are based on
+the Intel i82586 chip. It supports the AT&T Starlan 10 and Starlan Fiber,
+the EN100, the 3COM 3C507 and the RACAL Interlan NI5210.
+.Pp
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "ie%d: unknown board type code %d"
+An i82586 chip was found, but the driver was unable to determine the actual
+board type during the probe.
+.It "ie%d: kernel configured maddr %x doesn't match board configured maddr %x"
+The device probe detected a different maddr than the one specified in the
+kernel configuration file.
+.It "ie%d: can't find shared memory"
+The device probe could not access the shared memory to determine its size.
+.It "ie%d: kernel configured msize %d doesn't match board configured msize %d"
+The device probe found a different size for the shared memory than the one
+specified in the kernel configuration file.
+.It "ie%d: kernel configured irq %d doesn't match board configured irq %d"
+The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different
+interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.
+.It "ie%d: reset"
+The Intel i82586 had to be reset by the driver.
+.It "ie%d: transceiver problem"
+The driver has detected a problem with the ethernet transceiver. This is
+usually due to a loose or broken transceiver cable when using an external
+transceiver. When you experience this problem with an on-card transceiver
+your card may be incorrectly jumpered for to use an external transceiver.
+Worst case your on-board transceiver may be broken.
+.It "ie%d: TDR detected an open %d clocks away"
+The driver detected an open circuit in the ethernet cable. Check your
+coax cable and terminator resistors.
+.It "ie%d: TDR detected a short %d clocks away"
+The driver detected a short circuit in the ethernet cable. Check your
+coax cable and terminator resistors.
+.It "ie%d: TDR returned unknown status %x"
+The driver got an unknown status from the card during the ethernet cable
+test.
+.It "ie%d: multicast address setup command failed"
+The card could not be put into multicast mode.
+.It "ie%d: configure command failed"
+The card refused to respond correctly during configuration.
+.It "ie%d: individual address setup command failed"
+The programming of the Ethernet (MAC) address failed.
+.El
+.Sh CAVEATS
+The Racal Interlan NI5210 comes in variants with 8 and 16 kbytes of
+shared memory. It is strongly advisable to use the 16 kbyte variant.
+You can upgrade your 8 kbyte card to 16 kbyte by adding an additional
+RAM chip.
