-The \fBmxfe\fR driver supports both style 1 and style 2 modes of operation.
-Physical points of attachment (PPAs) are interpreted as the instance number of

+PCI controllers.
+.Lp
+These devices generally support the standard Fast Ethernet features, including
+10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, both full and half duplex operation, IEEE 802.3
+autonegotiation, etc.  They also support full size MTUs (1500 bytes),
+even when used with VLANs.
+.
