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.
