See 41.Xr mii 4 . 42.Sh DESCRIPTION 43The 44.Nm tl 45device driver supports network adapters based on 46the Texas Instruments ThunderLAN chip. 47.Sh HARDWARE 48Supported cards include: 49.Pp 50.Bl -tag -width xxxxxx -offset indent 51.It Compaq Netelligent 52in baseboard and PCI variants (10bT-only variant untested). 53.It Compaq NetFlex 3/P 54in baseboard variant only (the PCI variant doesn't use the same chip !). 55.It It Baseboard Compaq Deskpro 4000 5233MMX Ethernet 56(This has been tested on the Deskpro 4000M only). 57.It TI TravelMate 5000 series laptop docking station's Ethernet board . 58.El 59.Sh MEDIA SELECTION 60The different models of the supported boards come with some subset of RJ-45, 61BNC and AUI connectors. Media selection is done using 62.Xr ifconfig 8 63using the standard 64.Xr ifmedia 4 65mechanism. Refer to those manual pages for more information. 66.Pp 67The 68.Nm 69driver don't have full automatic media selection. By default it will do an NWay 70on the UTP port for negotiation of the speed and duplex mode with the 71link partner. If the AUI or BNC port is used, an explicit medium must be 72specified to 73.Xr ifconfig 8 74or in your /etc/ifconfig.tl? file. 75.in -4 76.Sh SEE ALSO 77.Xr ifmedia 4 , 78.Xr mii 4 , 79.Xr netintro 4 , 80.Xr pci 4 , 81.Xr ifconfig 8 82.Sh BUGS 83The board marked as untested will always claim having an AUI connector, where 84it may be a BNC one. 85
