+.Sh NAME
+.Nm age
+.Nd Attansic/Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device miibus"
+.Cd "device age"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+if_age_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+device driver provides support for Attansic/Atheros L1 PCI Express
+Gigabit Ethernet controllers.
+.Pp
+All LOMs supported by the
+.Nm
+driver have TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload for both transmit and
+receive, TCP segmentation offload (TSO), hardware VLAN tag
+stripping/insertion features and an interrupt moderation mechanism
+as well as a 64-bit multicast hash filter.
+.Pp
+The L1 also supports Jumbo Frames (up to 10240 bytes), which can be
+configured via the interface MTU setting.
+Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
+.It Cm autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+The user can manually override
+the autoselected mode by adding media options to
+.Xr rc.conf 5 .
+.It Cm 10baseT/UTP
+Set 10Mbps operation.
+.It Cm 100baseTX
+Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
+.It Cm 1000baseTX
+Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex"
+.It Cm full-duplex
+Force full duplex operation.
+.It Cm half-duplex
+Force half duplex operation.
+.El
+.Pp
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for LOMs based on
+Attansic/Atheros L1 Gigabit Ethernet controller chips, including:

+.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
+Tunables can be set at the
+.Xr loader 8
+prompt before booting the kernel or stored in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 .
+.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxx"
+.It Va hw.age.msi_disable
+This tunable disables MSI support on the Ethernet hardware.
+The default value is 0.
+.It Va hw.age.msix_disable
+This tunable disables MSI-X support on the Ethernet hardware.
+The default value is 0.
+.El
+.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
+The following variables are available as both
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variables and
+.Xr loader 8
+tunables:
+.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxx"
+.It Va dev.age.%d.int_mod
+Maximum amount of time to delay interrupt processing in units of
+2us.
+The accepted range is 0 to 65000, the default is 50 (100us).
+Value 0 completely disables the interrupt moderation.
+.It Va dev.age.%d.process_limit
+Maximum amount of Rx events to be processed in the event loop before
+rescheduling a taskqueue.
+The accepted range is 30 to 255, the default value is 128 events.
+The interface does not need to be brought down and up again before
+a change takes effect.
+.It Va dev.age.%d.stats
+Display lots of useful MAC counters maintained in the driver.
