29.Dt CAS 4
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm cas
33.Nd Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35To compile this driver into the kernel,
36place the following lines in your
37kernel configuration file:
38.Bd -ragged -offset indent
39.Cd "device miibus"
40.Cd "device cas"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44module at boot time, place the following line in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47if_cas_load="YES"
48.Ed
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52driver provides support for the Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National
53Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers.
54.Pp
55All controllers supported by the
56.Nm
57driver have TCP/UDP checksum offload capability for both receive and
58transmit, support for the reception and transmission of extended frames
59for
60.Xr vlan 4
61and an interrupt coalescing/moderation mechanism as well as a 512-bit
62multicast hash filter.
63.Pp
64The
65.Nm
66driver also supports Jumbo Frames (up to 9022 bytes), which can be
67configured via the interface MTU setting.
68Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
69.Xr ifconfig 8
70utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.
71.Sh HARDWARE

113.Sh HISTORY
114The
115.Nm
116device driver appeared in
117.Fx 8.0
118and
119.Fx 7.3 .
120It is named after the
121.Nm
122driver which first appeared in
123.Ox 4.1
124and supports the same set of controllers but is otherwise unrelated.

127The
128.Nm
129driver was written by
130.An Marius Strobl Aq Mt marius@FreeBSD.org
131based on the
132.Xr gem 4
133driver.
