NAME
stge —
Sundance/Tamarack TC9021 Gigabit
Ethernet driver
SYNOPSIS
stge* at pci? dev ? function ?
Configuration of PHYs or Ten-bit interfaces may also be necessary. See
mii(4).
DESCRIPTION
The
stge device driver supports the Sundance/Tamarack TC9021
Gigabit Ethernet chip.
The Sundance/Tamarack TC9021 is found on the D-Link DGE-550T, and the Antares
Microsystems Gigabit Ethernet board. It uses an external PHY or an external
10-bit interface.
The TC9021 supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware. The
stge driver supports this feature of the chip. See
ifconfig(8) for information on
how to enable this feature.

BUGS
The
stge driver does not support the VLAN tag
insertion/removal feature of the TC9021 chip. This is primarily because the
TC9021's VLAN do not have a useful programming interface.
The
stge driver does not yet support jumbo Ethernet frames.
The
stge driver does not yet function properly with 1000BASE-T
fitted boards. Currently, only 1000BASE-SX boards work.
