CAS(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual CAS(4)
NAME
cas - Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn
Gigabit Ethernet driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
device miibus
device cas
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
following line in loader.conf(5):
if_cas_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The cas driver provides support for the Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National
Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers.
All controllers supported by the cas driver have TCP/UDP checksum offload
capability for both receive and transmit, support for the reception and
transmission of extended frames for vlan(4) and an interrupt
coalescing/moderation mechanism as well as a 512-bit multicast hash
filter.
The cas driver also supports Jumbo Frames (up to 9022 bytes), which can
be configured via the interface MTU setting. Selecting an MTU larger
than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility configures the adapter to
receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.
HARDWARE
The chips supported by the cas driver are:
o National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet
o Sun Cassini Gigabit Ethernet
o Sun Cassini+ Gigabit Ethernet
The following add-on cards are known to work with the cas driver at this
time:
o Sun GigaSwift Ethernet 1.0 MMF (Cassini Kuheen) (part no. 501-5524)
o Sun GigaSwift Ethernet 1.0 UTP (Cassini) (part no. 501-5902)
o Sun GigaSwift Ethernet UTP (GCS) (part no. 501-6719)
o Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet UTP (QGE) (part no. 501-6522)
o Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet PCI-X (QGE-X) (part no. 501-6738)
SEE ALSO
altq(4), miibus(4), netintro(4), vlan(4), ifconfig(8)
HISTORY
The cas device driver appeared in FreeBSD 8.0 and FreeBSD 7.3. It is
named after the cas driver which first appeared in OpenBSD 4.1 and
supports the same set of controllers but is otherwise unrelated.
