.Nd Ethernet driver for Texas Instruments ThunderLAN based board
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "tl* at pci? dev ? function ?"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Configuration of PHYs are 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 PCI variants (10bT-only variant untested).
|
|
.It Compaq NetFlex 3/P
|
|
in baseboard variant only (the PCI variant doesn't use the same chip !).
|
|
.It Baseboard Compaq Deskpro 4000 5233MMX Ethernet (untested).
|
|
.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 don't have full automatic media selection. By default it will do an NWay
|
|
on the UTP port for negotiation of the speed and duplex mode with the
|
|
link partner. If the AUI or BNC port is used, an explicit medium must be
|
|
specified to
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
or in your /etc/ifconfig.tl? file.
|
|
.in -4
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The board marked as untested will always claim having an AUI connector, where
|
|
it may be a BNC one.
