.Dd July 3, 2008 .Dt BM 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm bm .Nd BMAC Ethernet device driver .Sh SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: d -ragged -offset indent .Cd "device miibus" .Cd "device bm" .Ed
p Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in .Xr loader.conf 5 : d -literal -offset indent if_bm_load="YES" .Ed .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver provides support for the BMac ethernet hardware found mostly in G3-based Apple hardware. It is a close relative of the Sun HME controller found in contemporary Sun workstations. .Sh HARDWARE Chips supported by the .Nm driver include:
