.Nd Xircom CreditCard Ethernet device driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "xi* at pcmcia? function ?
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary. See
|
|
.Xr mii 4 .
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the Xircom CreditCard family of PCMCIA
|
|
Ethernet adapters. Supported cards include:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -hang -tag -compact -indent
|
|
.It Xircom CreditCard Ethernet II
|
|
.It Xircom CreditCard 10/100 Ethernet
|
|
.It Xircom CreditCard Ethernet + Modem
|
|
.It Xircom CreditCard 10/100 Ethernet + Modem
|
|
.It Intel EtherExpress Pro/100
|
|
.It Compaq Netelligent 10/100
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Cards which should work, but have not been confirmed include:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -hang -tag -compact -indent
|
|
.It Xircom RealPort Ethernet
|
|
.It Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet
|
|
.It Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet + Modem
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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 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.
