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 transmit
78.Xr tcp 4
79or
80.Xr udp 4
81checksum offloading, nor
82.Xr tcp 4
83segmentation.
84Note that hardware checksumming is only used when the interface is not
85in
86.Xr bridge 4
87mode.
88.Pp
89Each of the host's network addresses
90is specified at boot time with an
91.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
92.Xr ioctl 2 .
93The
94.Nm
95interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
96.Xr arp 4
97to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
98network.
99.Pp
100When a
101.Nm
102interface is brought up, by default, it will attempt to auto-negotiate the
103link speed and duplex mode.
104The speeds, in order of attempt, are:
105100Mb/s Full Duplex, 100Mb/s Half Duplex, 10 Mb/s Full Duplex, and
10610 Mb/s Half Duplex.
107.Pp
108The
109.Nm
110supports several media types, which are selected via the
111.Xr ifconfig 8
112command.
113The supported media types are:
114.Bl -tag -width indent
115.It Cm media autoselect
116Attempt to autoselect the media type (default)
117.It Cm media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
118Use 100baseTX, full duplex
119.It Cm media 100baseTX Op Cm mediaopt half-duplex
120Use 100baseTX, half duplex
121.It Cm media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex
122Use 10baseT, full duplex
123.It Cm media 10baseT Op Cm mediaopt half-duplex
124Use 10baseT, half duplex
