.Dd June 1, 2007 .Dt XI 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm xi .Nd Xircom CreditCard Ethernet device driver .Sh SYNOPSIS .Cd "xi* at xirc?"
p Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary. See .Xr mii 4 . .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver provides support for the Xircom CreditCard family of PCMCIA Ethernet adapters. Supported cards include:
p
l -item -compact -offset indent t Xircom CreditCard Ethernet II
t Xircom CreditCard 10/100 Ethernet
.It Xircom CreditCard Ethernet + Modem
.It Xircom CreditCard 10/100 Ethernet + Modem
t Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet + Modem (Ethernet function only)
t Intel EtherExpress Pro/100
t Compaq Netelligent 10/100
.El
p Cards which should work, but have not been confirmed include:
p l -item -compact -offset indent t Xircom RealPort Ethernet t Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet .El
p Some Xircom Ethernet products are supported by the .Xr tlp 4 driver. .Sh MEDIA SELECTION Media selection is done using .Xr ifconfig 8 using the standard .Xr ifmedia 4 mechanism. Refer to those manual pages for more information. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ifmedia 4 , .Xr mii 4 , .Xr netintro 4 , .Xr pcmcia 4 , .Xr tlp 4 , .Xr xirc 4 , .Xr ifconfig 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm device driver appeared in .Nx 1.5 . .Sh BUGS The driver suffers from poor performance. Even with the 10/100 cards, do not expect more than ~450KB/s. Some 10/100 cards may not autonegotiate reliably and require manual media selection.
p The Xircom multifunction cards which contain both Ethernet and modem interfaces are known to have problems. This is due to the card not reporting itself correctly as a multifunction card.
