xe(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual xe(4) NAME xe -- Xircom PCMCIA Ethernet device driver SYNOPSIS device xe DESCRIPTION The xe driver supports PCMCIA Ethernet adapters based on Xircom CE2- and CE3-class hardware. This includes devices made by Xircom along with var- ious OEM manufacturers. The following cards are supported: o Xircom CreditCard Ethernet (PS-CE2-10) o Xircom CreditCard Ethernet + Modem 28 (PS-CEM-28) o Xircom CreditCard Ethernet + Modem 33 (CEM33) o Xircom CreditCard 10/100 (CE3, CE3B) o Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56 (CEM56) o Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10 (RE10) o Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100 (RE100) o Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56 (REM56, REM56G) o Accton Fast EtherCard-16 (EN2226) o Compaq Netelligent 10/100 PC Card (CPQ-10/100) o Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 PC Card Mobile Adapter 16 (Pro/100 M16A) Other similar devices using the same hardware may also be supported. Please note that the xe driver only supports PCMCIA cards and their Eth- ernet functions. xe 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. The xe driver supports the following media types: autoselect Enable autoselection of media type and options. 10Base2/BNC Select 10Mbps operation on a BNC coaxial connector. 10BaseT/UTP Select 10Mbps operation on a RJ-45 connector. 100BaseTX Select 100Mbps operation. 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 configur- ing network interface devices, see ifconfig(8). DIAGNOSTICS xe%d: Cannot allocate ioport xe%d: Cannot allocate irq A fatal initialization error occurred while attempting to allocate system resources for the card. xe%d: Unable to fix your %s combo card A fatal initialization error oc- curred while attempting to attach an Ethernet/modem combo card. xe%d: watchdog timeout: resetting card The card failed to generate an interrupt acknowledging a transmitted packet. May indicate a PCMCIA con- figuration problem. xe%d: no carrier The card has lost all contact with the network; this usually indicates a cable problem.

BUGS Supported devices will fail to attach on some machines using the NEWCARD PC Card framework. Automatic media selection is usually unreliable. BSD November 04, 2003 BSD
