NAME

     vte -- Vortex86 RDC R6040 Fast Ethernet driver


SYNOPSIS

     vte* at pci? dev ? function ?

     Configuration of PHYs is necessary.  See rdcphy(4).


DESCRIPTION

     The vte device driver provides support for RDC R6040 Fast Ethernet con-
     troller which is commonly found on Vortex86 System On a Chip (SoC).

     The RDC R6040 has integrated 10/100 PHY for 10/100Mbps support in full or
     half-duplex.  The controller supports interrupt moderation mechanism, a
     64-bit multicast hash filter, VLAN over-size frame and four station
     addresses.  The vte device driver uses three station addresses out of
     four as perfect multicast filter.


SYSCTL VARIABLES

     The following variables are available

     hw.vte.vte<x>.int_rxct
             Maximum number of packets to fire RX completion interrupt.  The
             accepted range is 0 (disable interrupt moderation) to 15, the
             default is 0.

     hw.vte.vte<x>.int_txct
