33.Nd "Xircom PCMCIA Ethernet device driver" |
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
35To compile support for the 36.Nm 37driver into your kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file: 38.Bd -ragged -offset indent |
39.Cd "device xe"
|
40.Ed 41.Pp 42Alternatively, to load the 43.Nm 44driver at boot time, place the following line in 45.Xr loader.conf 5 : 46.Bd -literal -offset indent 47if_xe_load="YES" 48.Ed |
49.Sh DESCRIPTION 50The 51.Nm 52driver supports 53.Tn PCMCIA 54Ethernet adapters based on Xircom CE2- and CE3-class hardware. 55This includes devices made by Xircom along with 56various 57.Tn OEM 58manufacturers. 59.Pp 60Please note that the 61.Nm 62driver only supports 63.Tn PCMCIA 64cards and their Ethernet functions. 65.Nm 66does not support the on-board modem device located on some 67version of the Ethernet/modem combo cards. 68In particular, Xircom RealPort2 cards are not supported by this driver. 69.Pp 70The 71.Nm 72driver supports the following media types: 73.Bl -tag -width ".Cm autoselect" 74.It Cm autoselect 75Enable autoselection of media type and options. 76.It Cm 10Base2/BNC 77Select 10Mbps operation on a BNC coaxial connector. 78.It Cm 10BaseT/UTP 79Select 10Mbps operation on a RJ-45 connector. 80.It Cm 100BaseTX 81Select 100Mbps operation. 82.El 83.Pp 84Note that 100BaseTX operation is not available on CE2-class cards, 85while the 10Base2/BNC mode is only available on CE2-class cards. 86Full-duplex 87operation is currently not supported. 88For more information on configuring network interface devices, 89see 90.Xr ifconfig 8 . 91.Sh HARDWARE 92The 93.Nm 94driver supports the following cards: 95.Pp 96.Bl -bullet -compact 97.It 98Xircom CreditCard Ethernet (PS-CE2-10) 99.It 100Xircom CreditCard Ethernet + Modem 28 (PS-CEM-28) 101.It 102Xircom CreditCard Ethernet + Modem 33 (CEM33) 103.It 104Xircom CreditCard 10/100 (CE3, CE3B) 105.It 106Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56 (CEM56) 107.It 108Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10 (RE10) 109.It 110Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100 (RE100) 111.It 112Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56 (REM56, REM56G) 113.It 114Accton Fast EtherCard-16 (EN2226) 115.It 116Compaq Microcom CPQ550 Ethernet/Modem PC Card 117.It 118Compaq Netelligent 10/100 PC Card (CPQ-10/100) 119.It 120Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 PC Card Mobile Adapter 16 (Pro/100 M16A) 121.It 122Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 LAN/Modem PC Card Adapter (Pro/100 M16B) 123.El 124.Pp 125Other similar devices using the same hardware may also be supported. 126.Sh DIAGNOSTICS 127.Bl -diag 128.It "xe%d: Cannot allocate ioport" 129.It "xe%d: Cannot allocate irq" 130A fatal initialization error occurred while attempting to allocate 131system resources for the card. 132.It "xe%d: Unable to fix your %s combo card" 133A fatal initialization error occurred while attempting to attach an 134Ethernet/modem combo card. 135.It "xe%d: watchdog timeout: resetting card" 136The card failed to generate an interrupt acknowledging a 137transmitted packet. 138May indicate a 139.Tn PCMCIA 140configuration problem. 141.It "xe%d: no carrier" 142The card has lost all contact with the network; this 143usually indicates a cable problem. 144.El 145.Sh SEE ALSO 146.Xr pccard 4 , 147.Xr ifconfig 8 148.Sh HISTORY 149The 150.Nm 151driver first appeared in 152.Fx 3.3 . 153.Sh AUTHORS 154.An -nosplit 155The 156.Nm 157device driver was written by 158.An Scott Mitchell Aq rsm@FreeBSD.org . 159This manual page was written by 160.An Scott Mitchell Aq rsm@FreeBSD.org , 161and 162.An Tom Rhodes Aq trhodes@FreeBSD.org . 163.Sh BUGS 164Supported devices will fail to attach on some machines using the 165.Tn NEWCARD 166.Tn PC 167Card framework. 168.Pp 169Automatic media selection is usually unreliable.
