33 .Nd Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet driver
35 To compile this driver into the kernel,
36 place the following lines in your
37 kernel configuration file:
38 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
43 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44 module at boot time, place the following line in
46 .Bd -literal -offset indent
52 driver provides support for the Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National
53 Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers found
54 on-board in Sun UltraSPARC machines and as add-on cards.
56 All controllers supported by the
58 driver have TCP/UDP checksum offload capability for both receive and
59 transmit, support for the reception and transmission of extended frames
62 and an interrupt coalescing/moderation mechanism as well as a 512-bit
63 multicast hash filter.
67 driver also supports Jumbo Frames (up to 9022 bytes), which can be
68 configured via the interface MTU setting.
69 Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
71 utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.

113 .Va local-mac-address?
114 system configuration variable which can be set in the Open Firmware boot
123 driver will use the system's default MAC address for all of its devices.
126 the unique MAC address of each interface is used if present rather than
127 the system's default MAC address.
129 Supported interfaces having their own MAC address include on-board
130 versions on boards equipped with more than one Ethernet interface and

146 It is named after the
148 driver which first appeared in
150 and supports the same set of controllers but is otherwise unrelated.
