💖 MY(4) — the Myson Ethernet tea 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to talk about the Myson Technology Ethernet PCI driver and honestly? it's giving niche but iconic. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

my — the Myson Technology Ethernet PCI driver. that's it, that's the name, short and sweet like a good username. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so there's two ways to get this driver into your life, and it depends on your vibe:

Option one: bake it right into the kernel. put this line in your kernel configuration file:

device my

Option two: load it as a module at boot time. put this in loader.conf(5):

if_my_load="YES"

pick your fighter, both work. 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the lore. the my driver provides support for various NICs based on the Myson chipset. and get this — the Myson chipset is a variant of the DEC Tulip NIC chipset. it's like a remix of a classic, no cap. 🔥

and the best part? the driver will work with almost any MII-compliant PHY. so like, if it can't positively identify the chip? not a fatal error. it just shrugs and keeps going. main character energy fr fr. 💅

🌈 HARDWARE 🌈

the my driver provides support for various NICs based on the Myson chipset. supported models include:

  • Myson MTD800 PCI Fast Ethernet chip ⭐
  • Myson MTD803 PCI Fast Ethernet chip ⭐
  • Myson MTD89X PCI Gigabit Ethernet chip ⭐

three icons, one driver. we love a versatile queen. 👑

go read these next, bestie, they're the group chat of this manpage:

🕰️ HISTORY 🕰️

the my driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6. vintage. retro. a little bit of history in your kernel. 💜

🫶 AUTHORS 🫶

the my driver was written by Myson Technology Inc. — shoutout to them, iconic behaviour honestly. 🌟

this manual page was written by Hiten M. Pandya <hmp@FreeBSD.org>. thank you for your service, king. 🎀

💀 BUGS 💀

okay so there IS one thing. the my driver does not support Power Management Events (PME). it's just not that girl when it comes to PME. don't come for her, she's doing her best. 😭

so yeah, that's the whole thing! this page came to you from Debian, dated March 11, 2007 — old enough to be a vintage find, still serving looks. ✨ go forth and network responsibly. bye bestie!! 💖🦋🌸
