28 .Nd 3Com Etherlink XL device driver
29 .Sh SYNOPSIS
30 .Pa /dev/elxl
31 .Sh DESCRIPTION
32 The
33 .Nm
34 driver provides support for the 3Com Etherlink XL
35 family of Ethernet and Fast Ethernet PCI controllers.
36 These are often known by their part numbers, most often 3c905 or 3c900 variants.
37 .Lp
38 The 3c905 devices generally support some form of 100 Mbps Ethernet,
39 whereas the 3c900 devices usually only support 10 Mbps.
40 Some devices support legacy media such as 10BASE-15, 10BASE-2, and even
41 10BASE-FL.
42 .
43 Where applicable, the devices support auto-negotiation, both full and
44 half duplex, etc.
45 They also support full size MTUs (1500 bytes), even when used with VLANs.
46 .
47 .Lp
48 The device driver supports the
49 .Xr ieee802.3 5
50 properties, which can be configured with
51 .Xr dladm 1M .
52 .Lp
53 In addition, for devices with multiple external media ports, the driver
54 supports a driver-specific
55 .Xr dladm 1M
56 property called
57 .Sy media ,
58 which can take one of the following values, depending on the available
59 media options on the device:
60 .Lp
61 .Bl -tag -compact -offset indent -width Sy
62 .It Sy mii
63 Media Indendent Interface (MII), also 100BASE-TX
64 .It Sy tp-hdx
