.Nm tl
|
|
.Nd Ethernet driver for Texas Instruments ThunderLAN based board
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "tl* at pci? dev ? function ?"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Configuration of PHYs is necessary.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr mii 4 .
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm tl
|
|
device driver supports network adapters based on
|
|
the Texas Instruments ThunderLAN chip.
|
|
.Sh HARDWARE
|
|
Supported cards include:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxx -offset indent
|
|
.It Compaq Netelligent
|
|
in baseboard and
|
|
.Tn PCI
|
|
variants (10BASE-T-only variant untested).
|
|
.It Compaq NetFlex 3/P
|
|
in baseboard variant only (the
|
|
.Tn PCI
|
|
variant doesn't use the same chip!).
|
|
.It \&It Baseboard Compaq Deskpro 4000 5233MMX Ethernet
|
|
(This has been tested on the Deskpro 4000M only).
|
|
.It TI TravelMate 5000 series laptop docking station's Ethernet board .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh MEDIA SELECTION
|
|
The different models of the supported boards come with some subset of RJ-45,
|
|
BNC and AUI connectors.
|
|
Media selection is done using
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
using the standard
|
|
.Xr ifmedia 4
|
|
mechanism.
|
|
Refer to those manual pages for more information.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver doesn't have full automatic media selection.
|
|
By default it will do an Nway
|
|
.Pq Tn IEEE 802.3u
|
|
negotiation on the 10BASE-T port for the speed and duplex mode with the
|
|
link partner.
|
|
If the AUI or BNC port is used, an explicit media type must be
|
|
specified to
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .

|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The board marked as untested will always claim having an AUI connector, where
|
|
it may be a BNC one.
