<title>Network Interface Support</title>
<para>Added support for PCI Ethernet adapters based on the
National Semiconductor DP83815 chipset, including the NetGear
FA311-TX and FA312-TX, in the form of the &man.sis.4; driver.</para>

supported by the &man.lnc.4; driver, the &man.pcn.4; driver runs
these chips in 32-bit mode and uses the RX alignment feature to
achieve zero-copy receive. This driver is also
machine-independent, so it will work on both the i386 and Alpha
platforms. The &man.lnc.4; driver is still needed to support non-PCI
cards. &merged;</para>
