28.Dt JME 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm jme
32.Nd JMicron Gigabit/Fast Ethernet driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following lines in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device miibus"
39.Cd "device jme"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43module at boot time, place the following line in
44.Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.Bd -literal -offset indent
46if_jme_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51device driver provides support for JMicron JMC250 PCI Express
52Gigabit Ethernet controllers and JMicron JMC260 PCI Express Fast
53Ethernet controllers.
54.Pp
55All LOMs supported by the
56.Nm
57driver have TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload for both transmit and receive,
58TCP segmentation offload (TSO), hardware VLAN tag stripping/insertion
59features, Wake On Lan (WOL) and an interrupt coalescing/moderation
60mechanism as well as a 64-bit multicast hash filter.
61.Pp
62The JMC250 also supports Jumbo Frames (up to 9216 bytes), which can be
63configured via the interface MTU setting.
64Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
65.Xr ifconfig 8
66utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.
67.Pp
68The
69.Nm
70driver supports the following media types:
71.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
72.It Cm autoselect
73Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
74The user can manually override
75the autoselected mode by adding media options to
76.Xr rc.conf 5 .
77.It Cm 10baseT/UTP
78Set 10Mbps operation.
79.It Cm 100baseTX
80Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
81.It Cm 1000baseTX
82Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.
83.El
84.Pp
85The
86.Nm
87driver supports the following media options:
88.Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex"
89.It Cm full-duplex
90Force full duplex operation.
91.It Cm half-duplex
92Force half duplex operation.
93.El
94.Pp
95For more information on configuring this device, see
96.Xr ifconfig 8 .
97.Sh HARDWARE
98The
99.Nm
100device driver provides support for the following Ethernet controllers:
101.Pp
102.Bl -bullet -compact
103.It
104JMicron JMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
105.It
106JMicron JMC260 PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller
107.El
108.Sh LOADER TUNABLES
109Tunables can be set at the
110.Xr loader 8
111prompt before booting the kernel or stored in
112.Xr loader.conf 5 .
113.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxx"
114.It Va hw.jme.msi_disable
115This tunable disables MSI support on the Ethernet hardware.
116The default value is 0.
117.It Va hw.jme.msix_disable
118This tunable disables MSI-X support on the Ethernet hardware.
119The default value is 0.
120.El
121.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
122The following variables are available as both
123.Xr sysctl 8
124variables and
125.Xr loader 8
126tunables:
127.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxx"
128.It Va dev.jme.%d.tx_coal_to
129Maximum amount of time to delay for Tx completion interrupt in
130units of 1us.
131The accepted range is 1 to 65535, the default is 100 (100us).
132.It Va dev.jme.%d.tx_coal_pkt
133Maximum number of packets to fire Tx completion interrupt.
134The accepted range is 1 to 255, the default is 8.
135.It Va dev.jme.%d.rx_coal_to
136Maximum amount of time to delay for Rx completion interrupt in
137units of 1us.
138The accepted range is 1 to 65535, the default is 100 (100us).
139.It Va dev.jme.%d.rx_coal_pkt
140Maximum number of packets to fire Rx completion interrupt.
141The accepted range is 1 to 255, the default is 2.
142.It Va dev.jme.%d.process_limit
143Maximum amount of Rx events to be processed in the event loop before
144rescheduling a taskqueue.
145The accepted range is 10 to 255, the default value is 128 events.
146The interface does not need to be brought down and up again before
147a change takes effect.
