sip
— SiS
900-based Ethernet driver
sip* at pci? dev ? function ?
Configuration of PHYs is also necessary. See mii(4).
The sip
device driver supports Ethernet
interfaces based on the Silicon Integrated Systems SiS 900, SiS 7016, and
National Semiconductor DP83815 Ethernet chips.
The SiS 900 is found on many motherboards featuring SiS chipsets, and on some embedded systems, and has a built-in PHY. The SiS 7016 is an older version of the chip, which uses an external PHY.
The National Semiconductor DP83815 is found on NetGear FA-311 and FA-312 Ethernet boards, and has a built-in PHY.

The sip
driver first appeared in
NetBSD 1.5.
The sip
driver was originally written by
Jason R. Thorpe for Network Computer, Inc.
It has since been modified by Jason R. Thorpe ⟨thorpej@NetBSD.org⟩ and Allen Briggs ⟨briggs@NetBSD.org⟩.
