hme
- Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Ethernet interfaces device driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
device miibusdevice hme
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
loader.conf5:
if_hme_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The
driver supports Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Fast Ethernet interfaces.
HARDWARE
The
driver supports the on-board Ethernet interfaces of many
Sun
UltraSPARC
workstation and server models.
Cards supported by the
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''
)
NOTES
On sparc64 the
driver respects the
local-mac-address?
system configuration variable which can be set in the Open Firmware boot
monitor using the
setenv
command or by
eeprom(8).
If set to
``false
''
(the default), the
driver will use the system's default MAC address for all of its devices.
If set to
``true
''
the unique MAC address of each interface is used if present rather than
the system's default MAC address.
Supported interfaces having their own MAC address include on-board versions
on boards equipped with more than one Ethernet interface and all add-on cards
except the single-port SBus versions.
