XI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual XI(4)NAME
xi -- Xircom CreditCard Ethernet device driver
SYNOPSIS
xi* at xirc?
Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary. See mii(4).
DESCRIPTION
The xi driver provides support for the Xircom CreditCard family of PCMCIA Ethernet adapters. Supported cards include:
Xircom CreditCard Ethernet II
Xircom CreditCard 10/100 Ethernet
Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet + Modem (Ethernet function only)
Intel EtherExpress Pro/100
Compaq Netelligent 10/100
Cards which should work, but have not been confirmed include:
Xircom RealPort Ethernet
Xircom RealPort 10/100 Ethernet
Some Xircom Ethernet products are supported by the tlp(4) driver.
MEDIA SELECTION
Media selection is done using ifconfig(8) using the standard ifmedia(4) mechanism. Refer to those manual pages for more information.
SEE ALSO ifmedia(4), mii(4), netintro(4), pcmcia(4), tlp(4), xirc(4), ifconfig(8)HISTORY
The xi device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.5.
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 autonego-
tiate reliably and require manual media selection.
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.

tl -- Ethernet driver for Texas Instruments ThunderLAN based board
SYNOPSIS
tl* at pci? dev ? function ?
Configuration of PHYs is necessary. See mii(4).
DESCRIPTION
The tl device driver supports network adapters based on the Texas Instruments ThunderLAN chip.
HARDWARE
Supported cards include:
Compaq Netelligent
in baseboard and PCI variants (10BASE-T-only variant untested).
Compaq NetFlex 3/P
in baseboard variant only (the PCI variant doesn't use the same chip!).
It Baseboard Compaq Deskpro 4000 5233MMX Ethernet
(This has been tested on the Deskpro 4000M only).
TI TravelMate 5000 series laptop docking station's Ethernet board.
MEDIA SELECTION
The different models of the supported boards come with some subset of RJ-45, BNC and AUI connectors. Media selection is done using
ifconfig(8) using the standard ifmedia(4) mechanism. Refer to those manual pages for more information.
The tl driver doesn't have full automatic media selection. By default it will do an Nway (IEEE 802.3u) negotiation on the 10BASE-T port for
the speed and duplex mode with the link partner. If the AUI or BNC port is used, an explicit media type must be specified to ifconfig(8).
SEE ALSO ifmedia(4), mii(4), netintro(4), pci(4), ifconfig(8)BUGS
The board marked as untested will always claim having an AUI connector, where it may be a BNC one.

I installed Solaris 8 on Compaq EN733 system which has Intel /100 Network Card. When I ran 'ifconfig -a', it did not show any nic card attarched to it. I am not sure is this driver problem or something else.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
