69with OnNow Support
70.It
71Am79c973/Am79c975 PCnet-FAST III Single-Chip 10/100Mbps PCI
72Ethernet Controller with Integrated PHY
73.El
74.Pp
75PCnet-PCI chips are found on some Hewlett-Packard PCI Ethernet
76boards, and on the Allied Telesyn AT-2700TX PCI Ethernet board.
77They are also found on some processor evaluation boards as an
78example peripheral.
79.Pp
80The
81.Nm
82driver also supports the emulated PCnet-PCI interface provided
83by VMware.
