+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mpt
+.Nd LSI Fusion-MPT SCSI/Fibre Channel 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 scbus"
+.Cd "device mpt"
+.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
+mpt_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support
+for the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT family of
+.Tn SCSI ,
+.Tn Fibre Channel
+and
+.Tn SAS
+controllers.
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The following controllers are supported by the
+.Nm
+driver:
+.Pp
+.Bl -bullet -compact
+.It
+LSI Logic 53c1030,
+LSI Logic LSI2x320-X
+(Single and Dual Ultra320
+.Tn SCSI )

+LSI Logic AS1064,
+LSI Logic AS1068
+.Pq Tn SAS/SATA
+.It
+LSI Logic FC909

+.It
+LSI Logic FC909A
+(Dual 1Gb/s
+.Tn Fibre Channel )
+.It
+LSI Logic FC919,
+LSI Logic 7102XP-LC
+(Single 2Gb/s
+.Tn Fibre Channel )
+.It
+LSI Logic FC929,
+LSI Logic FC929X,
+LSI Logic 7202XP-LC
+(Dual 2Gb/s
+.Tn Fibre Channel )
+.It
+LSI Logic FC949X
+(Dual 4Gb/s
+.Tn Fibre Channel )
+.It
+LSI Logic FC949E,
+LSI Logic FC949ES
+(Dual 4Gb/s
+.Tn Fibre Channel PCI-Express)
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Tn Ultra 320 SCSI
+controller chips supported by the
+.Nm
+driver can be found onboard on many systems including:
+.Pp
+.Bl -bullet -compact
+.It
+Dell PowerEdge 1750 thru 2850
+.It
+IBM eServer xSeries 335
+.El
+.Pp
+These systems also contain Integrated RAID Mirroring and Integrated
+RAID Mirroring Enhanced which this driver also supports.
+.Pp
+The
+.Tn SAS
+controller chips are also present on many new AMD/Opteron based systems,
+like the Sun 4100.
+Note that this controller can drive both SAS and SATA
+drives or a mix of them at the same time. The Integrated RAID Mirroring
+available for these controllers is poorly supported at best.
+.Pp
+The
+.Tn Fibre Channel
+controller chipset are supported by a broad variety of speeds and systems.
+The
+.Tn Apple
+Fibre Channel HBA is in fact the
+.Tn FC949ES
+card.
+.Pp
+This driver also supports target mode for Fibre Channel cards.
+This support may be enabled by setting the desired role of the core via
+the LSI Logic firmware utility that establishes what roles the card
+can take on - no separate compilation is required.
