NAME

       sge — Silicon Integrated Systems SiS190/191 Fast/Gigabit Ethernet driver

SYNOPSIS

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

             device miibus
             device sge

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             if_sge_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

       The  sge  device  driver  provides  support  for SiS190 Fast Ethernet controllers and SiS191 Fast/Gigabit
       Ethernet controllers.

       All LOMs supported by the sge driver have TCP/UDP/IP checksum  offload  for  transmit  and  receive,  TCP
       segmentation offload (TSO), hardware VLAN tag stripping/insertion features.  Due to lack of documentation
       Wake On Lan (WOL), Jumbo frame and an interrupt moderation mechanism are not supported yet.

       The sge driver supports the following media types:

       autoselect   Enable  autoselection  of  the  media  type and options.  The user can manually override the
                    autoselected mode by adding media options to rc.conf(5).

       10baseT/UTP  Set 10Mbps operation.

       100baseTX    Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.

       1000baseTX   Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.

       The sge driver supports the following media options:

       full-duplex  Force full duplex operation.

       half-duplex  Force half duplex operation.

       For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
