+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ex
+.Nd "Ethernet device driver for the Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 and Pro/10+"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following line in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device ex"
+.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_ex_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for Ethernet adapters based on the Intel
+i82595 chip.
+.Pp
+On the ISA bus, the card will be searched for in the
+I/O address range 0x200 - 0x3a0.
+The IRQ will be read from the EEPROM on the card.
+For correct operation Plug-N-Play support should be disabled.
+.Pp
+On the PC Card bus, the card will be automatically recognized and
+configured.
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following Ethernet adapters:

+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "ex%d: Intel EtherExpress Pro/10, address %6D, connector %s"
+The device probe found an installed card, and was able to correctly install
+the device driver.
+.It "ex%d: WARNING: board's EEPROM is configured for IRQ %d, using %d"
+The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different
+interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.
+.It "ex%d: invalid IRQ."
+The device probe detected an invalid IRQ setting.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+device driver first appeared in
+.Fx 2.2 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An -nosplit
+The
+.Nm
+device driver was written by
+.An Javier Mart\('in Rueda .
+The PC Card attachment was written by
+.An Mitsuru ISAWAKI
+and
+.An Warner Losh .
+This manual page was written by
+.An David E. O'Brien .
+.Sh BUGS
+Currently the driver does not support multicast.
+.Pp
+The Silicom EtherSerial card's serial port does not currently work.
+The Olicom OC2232 PC Card should work with the
+.Nm
+driver, but is currently completely broken.
