Manpage for the nve NVIDIA nForce MCP Ethernet driver. The manpage is based

on the nvnet driver manpage by Quinton Dolan.

Especially the list of supported hardware needs some work.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm nve
+.Nd "NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking Adapter device driver"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device miibus"
+.Cd "device nve"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the NVIDIA nForce MCP and nForce2 MCP2
+networking adapter that is embedded in the southbridge of most
+nForce and nForce2 motherboards.
+.Pp
+This driver is a reimplementation of the NVIDIA supported Linux
+nvnet driver and uses the same closed source API library to access
+the underlying hardware.
+There is currently no programming documentation available for this
+device, and therefore little is known about the internal architecture
+of the MAC engine itself.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+.It autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+.It 10baseT/UTP
+Set 10Mbps operation.
+.It 100baseTX
+Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+.It full-duplex
+Set full duplex operation.

+.Pp
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the NVIDIA MCP onboard adapters of mainboards with
+the following chipsets:
