NAME
sge —
Silicon Integrated Systems SiS190/191
Fast/Gigabit Ethernet driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device miibus
device sgeAlternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_sge_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
Thesge device driver provides support for SiS190 Fast
Ethernet controllers and SiS191 Fast/Gigabit Ethernet controllers.
All LOMs supported by the sge driver have
TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload for transmit and receive, TCP segmentation
offload (TSO), hardware VLAN tag stripping/insertion features. Due to lack
of documentation Wake On Lan (WOL), Jumbo frame and an interrupt moderation
mechanism are not supported yet.
The sge driver supports the following
media types:
autoselect- Enable autoselection of the media type and options. The user can manually override the autoselected mode by adding media options to rc.conf(5).
10baseT/UTP- Set 10Mbps operation.
100baseTX- Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
1000baseTX- Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.
The sge driver supports the following
media options:
full-duplex- Force full duplex operation.
half-duplex- Force half duplex operation.
For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
