.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm txp
.Nd 3Com 3XP Typhoon/Sidewinder (3CR990) Ethernet interface
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device txp"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet networks via the
.Tn 3Com
.Tn Typhoon/Sidewinder
chipset.
This driver supports the following cards:
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact
.It
3Com 3CR990-TX-95
.It
3Com 3CR990-TX-97
.It
3Com 3cR990B-TXM
.It
3Com 3CR990SVR95
.It
3Com 3CR990SVR97
.It
3Com 3cR990B-SRV
.El
.Pp
Basic Ethernet functions are provided as well as support for
.Xr vlan 4
tag removal and insertion assistance, receive
.Xr ip 4 ,
.Xr tcp 4 ,
and
.Xr udp 4
checksum offloading,
and
transmit
.Xr ip 4
checksum offloading.
There is currently no support for
transmit
.Xr tcp 4
or
.Xr udp 4
checksum offloading,
.Xr tcp 4
segmentation, nor
.Xr ipsec 4
acceleration.
Note that hardware checksumming is only used when the interface is not
in
.Xr bridge 4
mode.
.Pp
Each of the host's network addresses
is specified at boot time with an
.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
.Xr ioctl 2 .
The
.Nm
interface employs the address resolution protocol described in
.Xr arp 4
to dynamically map between Internet and Ethernet addresses on the local
network.
.Pp
When a
.Nm
interface is brought up, by default, it will attempt to auto-negotiate the
link speed and duplex mode.
The speeds, in order of attempt, are:
100Mb/s Full Duplex, 100Mb/s Half Duplex, 10 Mb/s Full Duplex, and
10 Mb/s Half Duplex.
.Pp
The
.Nm
supports several media types, which are selected via the
.Xr ifconfig 8
command.
The supported media types are:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Cm media autoselect
Attempt to autoselect the media type (default)
.It Cm media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
Use 100baseTX, full duplex
.It Cm media 100baseTX Op Cm mediaopt half-duplex
Use 100baseTX, half duplex
.It Cm media 10baseT mediaopt full-duplex
Use 10baseT, full duplex
.It Cm media 10baseT Op Cm mediaopt half-duplex
Use 10baseT, half duplex
