NAME
hme —
Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ
Ethernet interfaces device driver
SYNOPSIS
hme* at pci? dev ? function ?
hme* at sbus? slot ? offset ?
DESCRIPTION
Thehme driver supports Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ
Fast Ethernet interfaces.
HARDWARE
The hme driver supports the on-board
Ethernet interfaces of many Sun UltraSPARC workstation and server
models.
Cards supported by the hme driver
include:
- Sun PCI SunSwift Adapter (“SUNW,hme”)
- Sun SBus SunSwift Adapter (“hme” and “SUNW,hme”)
- Sun PCI Sun100BaseT Adapter 2.0 (“SUNW,hme”)
- Sun SBus Sun100BaseT 2.0 (“SUNW,hme”)
- Sun PCI Quad FastEthernet Controller (“SUNW,qfe”)
- Sun SBus Quad FastEthernet Controller (“SUNW,qfe”)
The STP2002 family supports hardware checksumming to assist in
computing IPv4 TCP/UDP checksums. The hme driver
supports this feature of the chip. See
ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable this feature.

HISTORY
The hme driver first appeared in
NetBSD 1.5.
AUTHORS
The hme driver was written by
Paul Kranenburg ⟨pk@NetBSD.org⟩.
BUGS
Connecting a MII transceiver on those cards that support it will cause the RJ45 connector to be detected as PHY instance 1, instead of the default instance 0.
