NAME
       hme — Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ Ethernet interfaces device driver


SYNOPSIS
       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

             device miibus
             device hme

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             if_hme_load="YES"


DEPRECATION NOTICE
       The     hme     driver     is     not     present     in     FreeBSD     13.0     and     later.      See
       https://github.com/freebsd/fcp/blob/master/fcp-0101.md for more information.


DESCRIPTION
       The hme driver supports Sun Microelectronics STP2002-STQ “Happy Meal Ethernet” Fast Ethernet interfaces.

       All controllers supported by the hme driver have TCP checksum offload capability  for  both  receive  and
       transmit,  support  for  the  reception  and  transmission  of  extended frames for vlan(4) and a 128-bit
       multicast hash filter.


HARDWARE
       The hme driver supports the on-board Ethernet interfaces of many Sun UltraSPARC  workstation  and  server
       models.

       Cards supported by the hme driver include:

       •   Sun PCI SunSwift Adapter (“SUNW,hme”)
       •   Sun SBus SunSwift Adapter (“hme” and “SUNW,hme”)
       •   Sun PCI Sun100BaseT Adapter 2.0 (“SUNW,hme”)
       •   Sun SBus Sun100BaseT 2.0 (“SUNW,hme”)
       •   Sun PCI Quad FastEthernet Controller (“SUNW,qfe”)
       •   Sun SBus Quad FastEthernet Controller (“SUNW,qfe”)


NOTES
       On  sparc64 the hme driver respects the local-mac-address? system configuration variable which can be set
       in the Open Firmware boot monitor using the setenv command or by  eeprom(8).   If  set  to  “false”  (the
       default),  the  hme  driver  will use the system's default MAC address for all of its devices.  If set to
       “true”, the unique MAC address of each interface is used if present rather than the system's default  MAC
       address.

       Supported  interfaces having their own MAC address include on-board versions on boards equipped with more
       than one Ethernet interface and all add-on cards except the single-port SBus versions.
