- .Sh NAME
- .Nm xe
- .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
- if_xe_load="YES"
- .Ed
- .Sh DESCRIPTION
- The
- .Nm
- driver supports
- .Tn PCMCIA
- Ethernet adapters based on Xircom CE2- and CE3-class hardware.
- This includes devices made by Xircom along with
- various
- .Tn OEM
- manufacturers.
- .Pp
- Please note that the
- .Nm
- driver only supports
- .Tn PCMCIA
- cards and their Ethernet functions.
- .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
- .Nm
- driver supports the following media types:
- .Bl -tag -width ".Cm autoselect"
- .It Cm autoselect
- Enable autoselection of media type and options.
- .It Cm 10Base2/BNC
- Select 10Mbps operation on a BNC coaxial connector.
- .It Cm 10BaseT/UTP
- Select 10Mbps operation on a RJ-45 connector.
- .It Cm 100BaseTX
- Select 100Mbps operation.
- .El
- .Pp
- Note that 100BaseTX operation is not available on CE2-class cards,
- while the 10Base2/BNC mode is only available on CE2-class cards.
- Full-duplex
- operation is currently not supported.
- For more information on configuring network interface devices,
- see
- .Xr ifconfig 8 .
- .Sh HARDWARE

- .Sh DIAGNOSTICS
- .Bl -diag
- .It "xe%d: Cannot allocate ioport"
- .It "xe%d: Cannot allocate irq"
- A fatal initialization error occurred while attempting to allocate
- system resources for the card.
- .It "xe%d: Unable to fix your %s combo card"
- A fatal initialization error occurred while attempting to attach an
- Ethernet/modem combo card.
- .It "xe%d: watchdog timeout: resetting card"
- The card failed to generate an interrupt acknowledging a
- transmitted packet.
- May indicate a
- .Tn PCMCIA
- configuration problem.
- .It "xe%d: no carrier"
- The card has lost all contact with the network; this
- usually indicates a cable problem.
