NAME
       hme — Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Ethernet interfaces device driver


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

             device miibus
             device hme

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

             if_hme_load="YES"


DESCRIPTION
       The hme driver supports Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ “Happy Meal Ethernet” Fast Ethernet interfaces.

       All  controllers  supported  by  the hme driver have TCP checksum offload capability for both receive and
       transmit, support for the reception and transmission  of  extended  frames  for  vlan(4)  and  a  128-bit
       multicast hash filter.


HARDWARE
       The  hme  driver  supports the on-board Ethernet interfaces of many Sun UltraSPARC workstation and server
       models.

       Cards supported by the hme driver include:

       •   Sun PCI SunSwift Adapter (“SUNW,hme”)
       •   Sun SBus SunSwift Adapter (“hme” and “SUNW,hme”)
       •   Sun PCI Sun100BaseT Adapter 2.0 (“SUNW,hme”)
       •   Sun SBus Sun100BaseT 2.0 (“SUNW,hme”)
       •   Sun PCI Quad FastEthernet Controller (“SUNW,qfe”)
       •   Sun SBus Quad FastEthernet Controller (“SUNW,qfe”)


NOTES
       On sparc64 the hme driver respects the local-mac-address? system configuration variable which can be  set
       in  the  Open  Firmware  boot  monitor  using the setenv command or by eeprom(8).  If set to “false” (the
       default), the hme driver will use the system's default MAC address for all of its  devices.   If  set  to
       “true”,  the unique MAC address of each interface is used if present rather than the system's default MAC
       address.

       Supported interfaces having their own MAC address include on-board versions on boards equipped with  more
       than one Ethernet interface and all add-on cards except the single-port SBus versions.
