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

111.Sh HISTORY
112The
113.Nm
114device driver appeared in
115.Fx 8.0
116and
117.Fx 7.3 .
118It is named after the
119.Nm
120driver which first appeared in
121.Ox 4.1
122and supports the same set of controllers but is otherwise unrelated.

125The
126.Nm
127driver was written by
128.An Marius Strobl Aq Mt marius@FreeBSD.org
129based on the
130.Xr gem 4
131driver.
