.Nd "Xircom PCMCIA Ethernet device driver"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following line in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device xe"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|

|
|
.Nm
|
|
does not support the on-board modem device located on some
|
|
version of the Ethernet/modem combo cards.
|
|
In particular, Xircom RealPort2 cards are not supported by this driver.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
