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 found
54on-board in Sun UltraSPARC machines and as add-on cards.
55.Pp
56All controllers supported by the
57.Nm
58driver have TCP/UDP checksum offload capability for both receive and
59transmit, support for the reception and transmission of extended frames
60for
61.Xr vlan 4
62and an interrupt coalescing/moderation mechanism as well as a 512-bit
63multicast hash filter.
64.Pp
65The
66.Nm
67driver also supports Jumbo Frames (up to 9022 bytes), which can be
68configured via the interface MTU setting.
69Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
70.Xr ifconfig 8
71utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.
72.Sh HARDWARE

115.Sh HISTORY
116The
117.Nm
118device driver appeared in
119.Fx 8.0
120and
121.Fx 7.3 .
122It is named after the
123.Nm
124driver which first appeared in
125.Ox 4.1
126and supports the same set of controllers but is otherwise unrelated.
127.Sh AUTHORS
128.An -nosplit
129The
130.Nm
131driver was written by
132.An Marius Strobl Aq Mt marius@FreeBSD.org
133based on the
134.Xr gem 4
135driver.
