+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ie
+.Nd "Ethernet device driver"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following line in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device ie"
+.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_ie_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+In
+.Pa /boot/device.hints :
+.Cd hint.ie.0.at="isa"
+.Cd hint.ie.0.port="0x300"
+.Cd hint.ie.0.irq="5"
+.Cd hint.ie.0.maddr="0xd0000"
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides supports the following 8 and 16bit ISA Ethernet cards
+that are based on the Intel i82586 chip:

+.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.

+.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.
