The following sysctls regulate this behaviour (separately 94for each path): 95.Bl -tag -width indent 96.It Va dev.mge.X.int_coal.rx_time 97.It Va dev.mge.X.int_coal.tx_time 98.Pp 99Value of 0 disables IC on the given path, value greater than zero corresponds 100to a real time period and is expressed in units equivalent to 64 ticks of the 101MGE clock. Maximum allowed value depends on MGE hardware revision. User 102provided values larger than supported will be trimmed to the maximum 103supported. More details are available in the reference manual of the device. 104.El 105.Sh HARDWARE 106Gigabit Ethernet controllers built into the following Marvell systems-on-chip 107are known to work with the 108.Nm 109driver: 110.Pp 111.Bl -bullet -compact 112.It 113Orion 88F5182 114.It 115Orion 88F5281 116.It 117Kirkwood 88F6281 (MGE V2) 118.It 119Discovery MV78100 (MGE V2) 120.El 121.Pp 122There are also Marvell system controllers for PowerPC processors, which 123include a variation of this gigabit Ethernet module integrated on chip, and 124they should also work with the 125.Nm 126driver, but this wasn't tested: 127.Pp 128.Bl -bullet -compact 129.It 130MV64430 131.It 132MV64460, MV64461, MV64462 133.El 134.Sh SEE ALSO 135.Xr altq 4 , 136.Xr arp 4 , 137.Xr miibus 4 , 138.Xr netintro 4 , 139.Xr ng_ether 4 , 140.Xr polling 4 , 141.Xr vlan 4 , 142.Xr ifconfig 8 143.Sh HISTORY 144The 145.Nm 146device driver first appeared in 147.Fx 8.0 . 148.Sh AUTHORS 149.An -nosplit 150The base version of 151.Nm 152device driver was written by 153.An Grzegorz Bernacki. 154It has been extended with advanced features (polling, interrupt coalescing, 155multicast, h/w checksum calculation etc.) by 156.An Piotr Ziecik . 157This manual page was written by 158.An Rafal Jaworowski . 159
