20.Sh NAME
21.Nm myx
22.Nd Myricom Myri-10G PCI Express 10Gb Ethernet device
23.Sh SYNOPSIS
24.Cd "myx* at pci?"
25.Sh DESCRIPTION
26The
27.Nm
28driver supports the Myricom Myri-10G PCI Express 10Gb Ethernet
29adapters based on the Myricom Lanai-Z8E and Lanai-Z8ES chipsets,
30including the following:
31.Pp
32.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
33.It
34Myricom 10G-PCIE-8A-C Adapter (10GbaseCX4)
35.It
36Myricom 10G-PCIE-8A-R Adapter (10GbaseSR/LR)
37.It
38Myricom 10G-PCIE-8A-Q Adapter (10G XAUI)
39.It
40Myricom 10G-PCIE2-8B2-2S Adapter (10GbaseSR/LR)
41.It
42Myricom 10G-PCIE2-8C2-2S Adapter (10GbaseSR/LR/LRM)
43.El
44.Pp
45Low profile versions are supported as well.
46.Sh FILES
47The adapter needs a firmware file, which is selected and loaded on
48demand by the driver when the device is attached:

73.Sh CAVEATS
74While the firmware supports reading module information for
75.Xr ifconfig 8
76.Cm transceiver
77to use, it does not support writing to the module.
78This prevents configuration of the module, which may prevent
79.Xr ifconfig 8
80from reading the right data from the module where other network
81cards succeed.
