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

Fast Ethernet
interfaces.

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:

+o Sun PCI SunSwift Adapter (``SUNW,hme'')
+o Sun SBus SunSwift Adapter (``hme'' and ``SUNW,hme'')
+o Sun PCI Sun100BaseT Adapter 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'')
+o Sun SBus Sun100BaseT 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'')
+o Sun PCI Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'')
+o 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 ad

dress.

Supported interfaces having their own MAC address include

on-board versions on boards equipped with more than one Ethernet inter

face and all
add-on cards except the single-port SBus versions.
