.Sh NAME
.Nm pci
.Nd introduction to PCI bus machine-independent drivers and support
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Pp
Machine-dependent; depends on the bus topology and PCI-bus interface
of your system. Typical PCI buses are connected to the
main system bus via a PCI host bridge, or daisy-chained
via a PCI-PCI bridge to an additional PCI bus. See the
.Xr intro 4
documentation for your system for details.
.Sh INTRODUCTION
.Nx 1.2
and later versions include machine-independent bus support and
drivers for the following PCI bus devices.
Not all supported PCI devices are listed below.
Consult the
.Xr intro 4
section for your CPU for additional machine-dependent drivers
(e.g., console drivers that support PCI video cards).
.Sh SUPPORTED DEVICES

Note that many PCI devices also have EISA, ISA, or ISA Plug-and-Play
variants. These are listed in
.Xr eisa 4 ,
.Xr isa 4 ,
and
.Xr isapnp 4 ,
respectively. The manual pages for each individual driver also lists the
supported bus variants.
