txp — 3Com 3XP Typhoon/Sidewinder (3CR990) Ethernet interface
Contents
Deprecation Notice
The txp driver is not present in FreeBSD 13.0 and later. See
https://github.com/freebsd/fcp/blob/master/fcp-0101.md for more information.
Description
The txp interface provides access to the 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s Ethernet networks via the 3Com
Typhoon/Sidewinder chipset.
Basic Ethernet functions are provided as well as support for vlan(4) tag removal and insertion
assistance, receive ip(4), tcp(4), and udp(4) checksum offloading, and transmit ip(4) checksum
offloading. There is currently no support for transmit tcp(4) or udp(4) checksum offloading, tcp(4)
segmentation, nor ipsec(4) acceleration.
When a txp 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.
The txp supports several media types, which are selected via the ifconfig(8) command. The supported
media types are:
mediaautoselect
Attempt to autoselect the media type (default)
media100baseTXmediaoptfull-duplex
Use 100baseTX, full duplex
media100baseTX [mediaopthalf-duplex]
Use 100baseTX, half duplex
media10baseTmediaoptfull-duplex
Use 10baseT, full duplex
media10baseT [mediaopthalf-duplex]
Use 10baseT, half duplex
