See 47.Xr mii 4 . 48.Sh DESCRIPTION 49The 50.Nm 51driver provides support for the Xircom CreditCard family of PCMCIA 52Ethernet adapters. Supported cards include: 53.Pp 54.Bl -hang -tag -compact -indent 55.It Xircom CreditCard Ethernet II 56.It Xircom CreditCard 10/100 Ethernet 57.It Xircom CreditCard Ethernet + Modem 58.It Xircom CreditCard 10/100 Ethernet + Modem 59.It Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 60.It Compaq Netelligent 10/100 61.El 62.Pp 63Cards which should work, but have not been confirmed include: 64.Pp 65.Bl -hang -tag -compact -indent 66.It Xircom RealPort Ethernet 67.It Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet 68.It Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet + Modem 69.El 70.Pp 71Some Xircom Ethernet products are supported by the 72.Xr tlp 4 73driver. 74.Sh MEDIA SELECTION 75Media selection is done using 76.Xr ifconfig 8 77using the standard 78.Xr ifmedia 4 79mechanism. Refer to those manual pages for more information. 80.Sh BUGS 81The driver suffers from poor performance. Even with the 10/100 cards, 82do not expect more than ~450KB/s. Some 10/100 cards may not autonegotiate 83reliably and require manual media selection. 84.Pp 85The Xircom multifunction cards which contain both ethernet and modem 86interfaces are known to have problems. This is due to the card not 87reporting itself correctly as a multifunction card. 88.Sh SEE ALSO 89.Xr ifconfig 8 , 90.Xr ifmedia 4 , 91.Xr mii 4 , 92.Xr netintro 4 , 93.Xr pcmcia 4 , 94.Xr tlp 4 95.Sh HISTORY 96The 97.Nm 98device driver appeared in 99.Nx 1.5 . 100
