.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Media Independent Interface is an IEEE standard serial bus for
|
|
connecting MACs (network controllers) to PHYs (physical media
|
|
interfaces). The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
layer allows network device drivers to share support code for
|
|
various PHY models, and allows unused support for PHYs which
|
|
are not present in a system to be removed from the kernel.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Network device drivers which use the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
layer carry the
|
|
.Dq mii
|
|
autoconfiguration attribute. This allows kernel configuration
|
|
files to simply specify PHYs as described above in the synopsis.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following is an example of the messages displayed when a network
|
|
interface with an attached PHY is detected by the kernel:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
epic0 at pci0 dev 12 function 0: SMC EPIC/100 Fast Ethernet
|
|
epic0: interrupting at kn20aa irq 4
|
|

|
|

|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All PHY drivers display the media types supported by the PHY when it
|
|
is detected by the kernel. These media types are valid media keywords
|
|
for use with the
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
program.
