34 .Nd GEM/GMAC Ethernet device driver
36 To compile this driver into the kernel,
37 place the following lines in your
38 kernel configuration file:
39 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
44 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
45 module at boot time, place the following line in
47 .Bd -literal -offset indent
53 driver provides support for the GMAC Ethernet hardware found mostly in
54 the last Apple PowerBooks G3s and most G4-based Apple hardware.
56 All controllers supported by the
58 driver have TCP checksum offload capability for both receive and transmit,
59 support for the reception and transmission of extended frames for
61 and a 512-bit multicast hash filter.
63 Chips supported by the
71 Sun GEM Gigabit Ethernet
