34.Dt TXP 4
35.Os
36.Sh NAME
37.Nm txp
38.Nd 3Com 3XP Typhoon/Sidewinder (3CR990) Ethernet interface
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.Cd "device txp"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet networks via the
45.Tn 3Com
46.Tn Typhoon/Sidewinder
47chipset.
48This driver supports the following cards:
49.Pp
50.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
51.It
523Com 3CR990-TX-95
53.It
543Com 3CR990-TX-97
55.It
563Com 3cR990B-TXM
57.It
583Com 3CR990SVR95
59.It
603Com 3CR990SVR97
61.It
623Com 3cR990B-SRV
63.El
64.Pp
65Basic Ethernet functions are provided as well as support for
66.Xr vlan 4
67tag removal and insertion assistance, receive
68.Xr ip 4 ,
69.Xr tcp 4 ,
70and
71.Xr udp 4
72checksum offloading,
73and
74transmit
75.Xr ip 4
76checksum offloading.
77There is currently no support for
78transmit
79.Xr tcp 4
80or
81.Xr udp 4
82checksum offloading,
83.Xr tcp 4
84segmentation, nor
85.Xr ipsec 4
86acceleration.
87Note that hardware checksumming is only used when the interface is not
88in
89.Xr bridge 4
90mode.
91.Pp
92Each of the host's network addresses
93is specified at boot time with an
94.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
95.Xr ioctl 2 .
96The
97.Nm
98interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
99.Xr arp 4
100to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
101network.
102.Pp
103When a
104.Nm
105interface is brought up, by default, it will attempt to auto-negotiate the
106link speed and duplex mode.
107The speeds, in order of attempt, are:
108100Mb/s Full Duplex, 100Mb/s Half Duplex, 10 Mb/s Full Duplex, and
10910 Mb/s Half Duplex.
110.Pp
111The
112.Nm
113supports several media types, which are selected via the
114.Xr ifconfig 8
115command.
116The supported media types are:
117.Bl -tag -width indent
118.It Cm media autoselect
119Attempt to autoselect the media type (default)
120.It Cm media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
121Use 100baseTX, full duplex
122.It Cm media 100baseTX Op Cm mediaopt half-duplex
123Use 100baseTX, half duplex
124.It Cm media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex
125Use 10baseT, full duplex
126.It Cm media 10baseT Op Cm mediaopt half-duplex
127Use 10baseT, half duplex
