30.Sh NAME
31.Nm msk
32.Nd Marvell/SysKonnect Yukon II Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following lines in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device miibus"
39.Cd "device msk"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43module at boot time, place the following line in
44.Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.Bd -literal -offset indent
46if_msk_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51device driver provides support for various NICs based on the
52Marvell/SysKonnect Yukon II Gigabit Ethernet controller chip.
53.Pp
54All NICs supported by the
55.Nm
56driver have TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload for transmit, TCP
57segmentation offload (TSO), hardware VLAN tag stripping/insertion
58features and an interrupt moderation mechanism as well as a 64-bit
59multicast hash filter.
60The Yukon II supports TBI (ten bit interface) and GMII
61transceivers, which means it can be used with either copper or
621000baseX fiber applications.
63.Pp
64The Yukon II also supports Jumbo Frames (up to 9022 bytes), which can be
65configured via the interface MTU setting.
66Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
67.Xr ifconfig 8
68utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.
69.Pp
70The
71.Nm
72driver supports the following media types:
73.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
74.It Cm autoselect
75Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
76The user can manually override
77the autoselected mode by adding media options to
78.Xr rc.conf 5 .
79.It Cm 10baseT/UTP
80Set 10Mbps operation.
81The
82.Xr ifconfig 8
83.Cm mediaopt
84option can also be used to select either
85.Cm full-duplex
86or
87.Cm half-duplex
88modes.
89.It Cm 100baseTX
90Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
91The
92.Xr ifconfig 8
93.Cm mediaopt
94option can also be used to select either
95.Cm full-duplex
96or
97.Cm half-duplex
98modes.
99.It Cm 1000baseTX
100Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.
101The
102.Xr ifconfig 8
103.Cm mediaopt
104option can also be used to select either
105.Cm full-duplex
106or
107.Cm half-duplex
108modes.
109.It Cm 1000baseSX
110Set 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) operation.
111Both
112.Cm full-duplex
113and
114.Cm half-duplex
115modes are supported.
116.El
117.Pp
118The
119.Nm
120driver supports the following media options:
121.Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex"
122.It Cm full-duplex
123Force full duplex operation.
124.It Cm half-duplex
125Force half duplex operation.
