28.Sh NAME
29.Nm sge
30.Nd Silicon Integrated Systems SiS190/191 Fast/Gigabit Ethernet driver
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32To compile this driver into the kernel,
33place the following lines in your
34kernel configuration file:
35.Bd -ragged -offset indent
36.Cd "device miibus"
37.Cd "device sge"
38.Ed
39.Pp
40Alternatively, to load the driver as a
41module at boot time, place the following line in
42.Xr loader.conf 5 :
43.Bd -literal -offset indent
44if_sge_load="YES"
45.Ed
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47The
48.Nm
49device driver provides support for SiS190 Fast Ethernet
50controllers and SiS191 Fast/Gigabit Ethernet controllers.
51.Pp
52All LOMs supported by the
53.Nm
54driver have TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload for transmit and receive,
55TCP segmentation offload (TSO), hardware VLAN tag stripping/insertion
56features.
57Due to lack of documentation Wake On Lan (WOL), Jumbo frame and an
58interrupt moderation mechanism are not supported yet.
59.Pp
60The
61.Nm
62driver supports the following media types:
63.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
64.It Cm autoselect
65Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
66The user can manually override
67the autoselected mode by adding media options to
68.Xr rc.conf 5 .
69.It Cm 10baseT/UTP
70Set 10Mbps operation.
71.It Cm 100baseTX
72Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
73.It Cm 1000baseTX
74Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.
75.El
76.Pp
77The
78.Nm
79driver supports the following media options:
80.Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex"
81.It Cm full-duplex
82Force full duplex operation.
83.It Cm half-duplex
84Force half duplex operation.
85.El
86.Pp
