35.Dt TXP 4
36.Os
37.Sh NAME
38.Nm txp
39.Nd 3Com 3XP Typhoon/Sidewinder (3CR990) Ethernet interface
40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.Cd "device txp"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet networks via the
46.Tn 3Com
47.Tn Typhoon/Sidewinder
48chipset.
49This driver supports the following cards:
50.Pp
51.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
52.It
533Com 3CR990-TX-95
54.It
553Com 3CR990-TX-97
56.It
573Com 3cR990B-TXM
58.It
593Com 3CR990SVR95
60.It
613Com 3CR990SVR97
62.It
633Com 3cR990B-SRV
64.El
65.Pp
66Basic Ethernet functions are provided as well as support for
67.Xr vlan 4
68tag removal and insertion assistance, receive
69.Xr ip 4 ,
70.Xr tcp 4 ,
71and
72.Xr udp 4
73checksum offloading,
74and
75transmit
76.Xr ip 4
77checksum offloading.
78There is currently no support for
79transmit
80.Xr tcp 4
81or
82.Xr udp 4
83checksum offloading,
84.Xr tcp 4
85segmentation, nor
86.Xr ipsec 4
87acceleration.
88Note that hardware checksumming is only used when the interface is not
89in
90.Xr bridge 4
91mode.
92.Pp
93Each of the host's network addresses
94is specified at boot time with an
95.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
96.Xr ioctl 2 .
97The
98.Nm
99interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
100.Xr arp 4
101to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
102network.
103.Pp
104When a
105.Nm
106interface is brought up, by default, it will attempt to auto-negotiate the
107link speed and duplex mode.
108The speeds, in order of attempt, are:
109100Mb/s Full Duplex, 100Mb/s Half Duplex, 10 Mb/s Full Duplex, and
11010 Mb/s Half Duplex.
111.Pp
112The
113.Nm
114supports several media types, which are selected via the
115.Xr ifconfig 8
116command.
117The supported media types are:
118.Bl -tag -width indent
119.It Cm media autoselect
120Attempt to autoselect the media type (default)
121.It Cm media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
122Use 100baseTX, full duplex
123.It Cm media 100baseTX Op Cm mediaopt half-duplex
124Use 100baseTX, half duplex
125.It Cm media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex
126Use 10baseT, full duplex
127.It Cm media 10baseT Op Cm mediaopt half-duplex
128Use 10baseT, half duplex
