# 215780 23-Nov-2010 marius

Remove the description of the link0 link option, since r215297 the master
media option generally should be used instead. Actually I think the lists
of media types should be removed from the manual pages of MAC drivers
altogether and users just pointed to the output of `ifconfig -m` instead;
even before r215297 there were several outdated descriptions, technically
it's wrong most of the time as not the MAC drivers support these media
types but actually the PHY drivers do and it generally doesn't make sense
to maintain these lists in every manual page of a driver as the media is
auto-detected.

# 154362 14-Jan-2006 bz

The LinkSys EG1032 is supported by re(4) not nge(4) [1].
I couldn't find the ID for the EG1064 anywhere in our sources
so I removed the reference for now.

# 76479 11-May-2001 wpaul

Add support for gigabit ethernet cards based on the NatSemi DP83820
and DP83821 gigabit ethernet MAC chips and the NatSemi DP83861 10/100/1000
copper PHY. There are a whole bunch of very low cost cards available with
this chipset selling for $150USD or less. This includes the SMC9462TX,
D-Link DGE-500T, Asante GigaNIX 1000TA and 1000TPC, and a couple cards
from Addtron.

This chip supports TCP/IP checksum offload, VLAN tagging/insertion.
2048-bit multicast filter, jumbograms and has 8K TX and 32K RX FIFOs.
I have not done serious performance testing with this driver. I know
it works, and I want it under CVS control so I can keep tabs on it.
Note that there's no serious mutex stuff in here yet either: I need
to talk more with jhb to figure out the right way to do this. That
said, I don't think there will be any problems.

This driver should also work on the alpha. It's not turned on in
GENERIC.
