HME(4)                  NetBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual                 HME(4)


NAME

     hme -- Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Ethernet interfaces device driver


SYNOPSIS

     hme* at pci? dev ? function ?
     hme* at sbus? slot ? offset ?


DESCRIPTION

     The hme 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.
