These are often known by their part numbers, most often 3c905 or 3c900 variants. .Lp The 3c905 devices generally support some form of 100 Mbps Ethernet, whereas the 3c900 devices usually only support 10 Mbps. Some devices support legacy media such as 10BASE-15, 10BASE-2, and even 10BASE-FL. . Where applicable, the devices support auto-negotiation, both full and half duplex, etc. They also support full size MTUs (1500 bytes), even when used with VLANs. . .Lp The device driver supports the .Xr ieee802.3 5 properties, which can be configured with .Xr dladm 1M . .Lp In addition, for devices with multiple external media ports, the driver supports a driver-specific .Xr dladm 1M property called .Sy media , which can take one of the following values, depending on the available media options on the device: .Lp .Bl -tag -compact -offset indent -width Sy .It Sy mii Media Indendent Interface (MII), also 100BASE-TX .It Sy tp-hdx 10 Mbps twisted pair, half-duplex .It Sy tp-fdx 10 Mbps twisted pair full-duplex .It Sy fx-hdx 100BASE-FX (fiber), half-duplex .It Sy fx-hdx 100BASE-FX (fiber), full-duplex .It Sy bnc 10BASE-2 .Pq BNC, aka Dq thin-net .It Sy aui 10BASE-15 .Pq aka Dq thick-net .It Sy fl-hdx 10BASE-FL (fiber), half-duplex .It Sy fl-fdx 10BASE-FL (fiber), full-duplex .El .Lp The specific media options available can be queried with the device-specific .Sy available_media .Xr dladm 1M property. .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /dev/elxl .It Pa /dev/elxl Special character device. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr dladm 1M , .Xr ifconfig 1M , .Xr pci 4 , .Xr ieee802.3 5 , .Xr dlpi 7P .Rs .%T IEEE 802.3: Ethernet .%Q IEEE Standards Association .Re
