| | 14 | .Sh NAME |
| | 15 | .Nm miibus |
| | 16 | .Nd IEEE 802.3 Media Independent Interface network bus |
| | 17 | .Sh SYNOPSIS |
| | 18 | For most network interface cards (NIC): |
| | 19 | .Cd "device miibus" |
| | 20 | .Sh DESCRIPTION |
| | 21 | The |
| | 22 | .Nm |
| | 23 | driver provides an interconnection between the Media Access Control (MAC) |
| | 24 | sublayer, the Physical Layer entities (PHY), Station Management (STA) |
| | 25 | entities, and the PHY Layer as defined by the IEEE 802.3 Standard. |
| | 26 | .Pp |
| | 27 | The |
| | 28 | .Nm |
| | 29 | layer allows network device drivers to share common support |
| | 30 | code for various external PHY devices. |
| | 31 | Most 10/100 network interface cards either use an MII transceiver |
| | 32 | or have built-in transceivers that can be programmed using an MII |
| | 33 | interface. |
| | 34 | The |
| | 35 | .Nm |
| | 36 | driver currently handles all of the media detection, |
| | 37 | selection, and reporting using the |
| | 38 | .Xr ifmedia 4 |
| | 39 | interface. |
| | 40 | A generic driver has been included for all PHYs that are not |
| | 41 | handled by a specific driver, this is possible because all |
| | 42 | 10/100 PHYs implement the same general register set along with |
| | 43 | their vendor specific register set. |
| | 44 | .Pp |
| | 45 | The following network device drivers use the |
| | 46 | .Nm |
| | 47 | interface: |

| | 124 | The implementation of |
| | 125 | .Nm |
| | 126 | was originally intended to have similar API interfaces |
| | 127 | to |
| | 128 | .Bsx 3.0 |
| | 129 | and |
| | 130 | .Nx , |
| | 131 | but as a result are not well behaved newbus device drivers. |
