+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "xi* at xirc?"
+.Pp
+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:

+.Pp
+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 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.
+.Pp
+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.
