28.Dt TXP 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm txp
32.Nd 3Com 3XP Typhoon/Sidewinder (3CR990) Ethernet interface
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Cd "txp* at pci? dev ? function ?"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet networks via the
39.Tn 3Com
40.Tn Typhoon/Sidewinder
41chipset.
42This driver supports the following cards:
43.Pp
44.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
45.It
463Com 3CR990-TX-95
47.It
483Com 3CR990-TX-97
49.It
503Com 3CR990SVR95
51.It
523Com 3CR990SVR97
53.El
54.Pp
55Basic Ethernet functions are provided as well as support for
56.Xr vlan 4
57tag removal and insertion assistance,
58receive
59.Xr ip 4 ,
60.Xr tcp 4 ,
61and
62.Xr udp 4
63checksum offloading,
64and
65transmit
66.Xr ip 4
67checksum offloading.
68There is currently no support for
69transmit
70.Xr tcp 4
71or
72.Xr udp 4
73checksum offloading,
74.Xr tcp 4
75segmentation, nor
76.Xr ipsec 4
77acceleration.
78Note that hardware checksumming is only used when the interface is not
79in
80.Xr bridge 4
81mode.
82.Pp
83Each of the host's network addresses
84is specified at boot time with an
85.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
86.Xr ioctl 2 .
87The
88.Nm
89interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
90.Xr arp 4
91to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
92network.
93.Pp
94When a
95.Nm
96interface is brought up, by default, it will attempt to auto-negotiate the
97link speed and duplex mode.
98The speeds, in order of attempt, are: 100Mb/s Full Duplex, 100Mb/s Half Duplex,
9910 Mb/s Full Duplex, and 10 Mb/s Half Duplex.
100.Pp
101The
102.Nm
103supports several media types, which are selected via the
104.Xr ifconfig 8
105command.
106The supported media types are:
107.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -offset indent
108.It media autoselect
109Attempt to autoselect the media type (default)
110.It media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
111Use 100baseTX, full duplex
112.It media 100baseTX Op mediaopt half-duplex
113Use 100baseTX, half duplex
114.It media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex
115Use 10baseT, full duplex
116.It media 10baseT Op mediaopt half-duplex
117Use 10baseT, half duplex
