33.Sh NAME
34.Nm stge
35.Nd Sundance/Tamarack TC9021 Gigabit Ethernet driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Cd "stge* at pci? dev ? function ?"
38.Pp
39Configuration of PHYs or Ten-bit interfaces may also be necessary.  See
40.Xr mii 4 .
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44device driver supports the Sundance/Tamarack TC9021 Gigabit Ethernet
45chip.
46.Pp
47The Sundance/Tamarack TC9021 is found on the D-Link DGE-550T, and
48the Antares Microsystems Gigabit Ethernet board.  It uses an external
49PHY or an external 10-bit interface.
50.Pp
51The TC9021 supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware.  The
52.Nm
53driver supports this feature of the chip.  See
54.Xr ifconfig 8
55for information on how to enable this feature.
56.\" .Sh DIAGNOSTICS
57.\" XXX too be done.

65.Sh HISTORY
66The
67.Nm
68driver first appeared in
69.Nx 1.6 .
70.Sh AUTHORS
71The
72.Nm
73driver was written by
74.An Jason R. Thorpe
75.Aq thorpej@NetBSD.org .
76.Sh BUGS
77The
78.Nm
79driver does not support the VLAN tag insertion/removal feature of the
80TC9021 chip.  This is primarily because the TC9021's VLAN do not have
81a useful programming interface.
82.Pp
83The
84.Nm
85driver does not yet support jumbo Ethernet frames.
86.Pp
87The
88.Nm
89driver does not yet function properly with 1000BASE-T fitted boards.
90Currently, only 1000BASE-SX boards work.
