  21 The \fBmxfe\fR is a Solaris STREAMS hardware driver supporting the Data Link
  22 Provider Interface (\fBdlpi\fR(7P)) over the Macronix 98715 family (including
  23 the Lite-On PNIC-II) of Fast Ethernet controllers.

  27 The \fBmxfe\fR driver supports both style 1 and style 2 modes of operation.
  28 Physical points of attachment (PPAs) are interpreted as the instance number of
  29 the  \fBmxfe\fR controller as assigned by the operating system.

  83 802.3\fR frames and delivered to streams that have bound to SAP zero (the

  34 driver provides support for the
  35 Macronix 98715 family (including the Lite-On PNIC-II) of Fast Ethernet
  36 PCI controllers.
  37 .Lp
  38 These devices generally support the standard Fast Ethernet features, including
  39 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, both full and half duplex operation, IEEE 802.3
  40 autonegotiation, etc.  They also support full size MTUs (1500 bytes),
  41 even when used with VLANs.
