.Pp
|
|
All versions of the
|
|
.Tn EtherLink XL
|
|
.Pq except the older 3c900 and 3c905
|
|
support IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports this feature of the chip.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
for information on how to enable this feature.
|
|
.Sh MEDIA SELECTION
|
|
Some of these network interfaces support the Media Independent Interface
|
|
.Pq Tn MII ,
|
|
a bus which can have at least one arbitrary Physical interface
|
|
.Pq Tn PHY
|
|
chip on it.
|
|
.Nx
|
|
supports
|
|
.Tn MII
|
|
and has separate drivers for many different
|
|
.Tn PHY
|
|
chips, including
|
|
.Xr ukphy 4 ,
|
|
a generic
|
|
.Tn PHY
|
|
driver that can support many
|
|
.Tn PHY
|
|
chips that
|
|
.Nx
|
|
does not yet have a specific driver for.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Support for the
|
|
.Tn PHY
|
|
found on a given
|
|
.Tn NIC
|
|
must be configured into a
|
|
.Nx
|
|
kernel
|
|
.Xr config 1
|
|
for this driver to work properly in those cases.
