Some Xircom Ethernet products are supported by the
|
|
.Xr tlp 4
|
|
driver.
|
|
.Sh MEDIA SELECTION
|
|
Media selection is done using
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
using the standard
|
|
.Xr ifmedia 4
|
|
mechanism. Refer to those manual pages for more information.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device driver appeared in
|
|
.Nx 1.5 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The driver suffers from poor performance. Even with the 10/100 cards,
|
|
do not expect more than ~450KB/s. Some 10/100 cards may not autonegotiate
|
|
reliably and require manual media selection.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The Xircom multifunction cards which contain both Ethernet and modem
|
|
interfaces are known to have problems. This is due to the card not
|
|
reporting itself correctly as a multifunction card.
