31*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amore.Sh DESCRIPTION
32*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'AmoreThe
33*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amore.Nm
34*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amoredriver provides support for the 3Com Etherlink XL
35*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amorefamily of Ethernet and Fast Ethernet PCI controllers. These are often known
36*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amoreby their part numbers, most often 3c905 or 3c900 variants.
37*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amore.Lp
38*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'AmoreThe 3c905 devices generally support some form of 100 Mbps Ethernet,
39*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amorewhereas the 3c900 devices usually only support 10 Mbps.  Some devices
40*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amoresupport legacy media such as 10BASE-15, 10BASE-2, and even 10BASE-FL.
41*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amore.
42*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'AmoreWhere applicable, the devices support auto-negotiation, both full and
43*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amorehalf duplex, etc.  They also support full size MTUs (1500 bytes),
44*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amoreeven when used with VLANs.
45*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amore.
46*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amore.Lp
47*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'AmoreThe device driver supports the
48*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amore.Xr ieee802.3 5
49*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amoreproperties, which can be configured with
50*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amore.Xr dladm 1M .
51*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amore.Lp
52*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'AmoreIn addition, for devices with multiple external media ports, the driver
53*a7d6e28eSGarrett D'Amoresupports a driver-specific
