NAME
     arswitch -- Atheros AR8000 series Ethernet switch driver

SYNOPSIS
     device mdio
     device etherswitch
     device arswitch

DESCRIPTION
     The  arswitch  driver provides a management interface to Atheros AR8000 se-
     ries Ethernet switch controllers.	The driver uses an mdio(4) or  miibus(4)
     interface to configure the ethernet interface.

     This  driver  supports  port based vlan, and IEEE 802.1Q (QinQ).  These op-
     tions can be configured with the etherswitchcfg(8) command.  arswitch  sup-
     ports  addtag,  striptag,	and doubletag.	addtag and striptag are mutually
     exclusive.

     Setting the switch MAC address is not supported.

     *	 Atheros AR8327 Seven-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
     *	 Atheros AR8316 Six-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
     *	 Atheros AR8236 Six-port Fast Ethernet Switch
     *	 Atheros AR8226 Six-port Fast Ethernet Switch
