.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm gsip
|
|
.Nd National Semiconductor DP83820 Gigabit Ethernet driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "gsip* at pci? dev ? function ?"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary. See
|
|
.Xr mii 4 .
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device driver supports Gigabit Ethernet interfaces based on the
|
|
National Semiconductor DP83820 Gigabit Ethernet chips.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The National Semiconductor DP83820 is found on NetGear GA-622,
|
|
Asante FriendlyNet GigaNIX, D-Link DGE-500T, SMC 9452TX and 9462TX,
|
|
Accton EN1407-T, Planex GN-1000TE, ARK SOHO GA2000T and GA2500T,
|
|
and other low-cost Gigabit Ethernet
|
|
cards. It uses an external PHY or an external 10-bit interface.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The DP83820 supports VLAN tag insertion/removal in hardware. The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports this feature of the chip.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The DP83820 supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware. The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports this feature of the chip. See
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
for information on how to enable this feature.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The DP83820 chip is a close relative of the DP83815 10/100 Ethernet
|
|
chip, which is supported by the
|
|
.Xr sip 4
|
|
driver, hence the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
name.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 1.6 .
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver was written by
|
|
.An Jason R. Thorpe
|
|
.Aq thorpej@NetBSD.org .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver does not support the 10-bit interface, which is required in
|
|
order to support fiber-optic media.
