31*86635a91SGarrett D'Amore.Sh DESCRIPTION
32*86635a91SGarrett D'AmoreThe
33*86635a91SGarrett D'Amore.Nm
34*86635a91SGarrett D'Amoredriver provides support for the 3Com Etherlink XL
35*86635a91SGarrett D'Amorefamily of Ethernet and Fast Ethernet PCI controllers. These are often known
36*86635a91SGarrett D'Amoreby their part numbers, most often 3c905 or 3c900 variants.
37*86635a91SGarrett D'Amore.Lp
38*86635a91SGarrett D'AmoreThe 3c905 devices generally support some form of 100 Mbps Ethernet,
39*86635a91SGarrett D'Amorewhereas the 3c900 devices usually only support 10 Mbps.  Some devices
40*86635a91SGarrett D'Amoresupport legacy media such as 10BASE-15, 10BASE-2, and even 10BASE-FL.
41*86635a91SGarrett D'Amore.
42*86635a91SGarrett D'AmoreWhere applicable, the devices support auto-negotiation, both full and
43*86635a91SGarrett D'Amorehalf duplex, etc.  They also support full size MTUs (1500 bytes),
44*86635a91SGarrett D'Amoreeven when used with VLANs.
45*86635a91SGarrett D'Amore.
46*86635a91SGarrett D'Amore.Lp
47*86635a91SGarrett D'AmoreThe device driver supports the
48*86635a91SGarrett D'Amore.Xr ieee802.3 5
49*86635a91SGarrett D'Amoreproperties, which can be configured with

51*86635a91SGarrett D'Amore.Lp
52*86635a91SGarrett D'AmoreIn addition, for devices with multiple external media ports, the driver
53*86635a91SGarrett D'Amoresupports a driver-specific
