40.Sh NAME
41.Nm stge
42.Nd Sundance/Tamarack TC9021 Gigabit Ethernet driver
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "stge* at pci? dev ? function ?"
45.Pp
46Configuration of PHYs or Ten-bit interfaces may also be necessary.  See
47.Xr mii 4 .
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51device driver supports the Sundance/Tamarack TC9021 Gigabit Ethernet
52chip.
53.Pp
54The Sundance/Tamarack TC9021 is found on the D-Link DGE-550T, and
55the Antares Microsystems Gigabit Ethernet board.  It uses an external
56PHY or an external 10-bit interface.
57.Pp
58The TC9021 supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware.  The
59.Nm
60driver supports this feature of the chip.  See
61.Xr ifconfig 8
62for information on how to enable this feature.
63.\" .Sh DIAGNOSTICS
64.\" XXX too be done.

72.Sh HISTORY
73The
74.Nm
75driver first appeared in
76.Nx 1.6 .
77.Sh AUTHORS
78The
79.Nm
80driver was written by
81.An Jason R. Thorpe
82.Aq thorpej@netbsd.org .
83.Sh BUGS
84The
85.Nm
86driver does not support the VLAN tag insertion/removal feature of the
87TC9021 chip.  This is primarily because the TC9021's VLAN do not have
88a useful programming interface.
89.Pp
90The
91.Nm
92driver does not yet support jumbo Ethernet frames.
93.Pp
94The
95.Nm
96driver does not yet function properly with 1000BASE-T fitted boards.
97Currently, only 1000BASE-SX boards work.
