32.Dt JME 4
33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm jme
36.Nd JMicron Technologies JMC250 Gigabit Ethernet and JMC260 Fast Ethernet controller driver
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.Cd "jme* at pci? dev ? function ?"
39.Pp
40Configuration of PHYs is necessary.
41See
42.Xr mii 4 .
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm jme
46device driver supports network adapters based on the JMicron
47Technologies JMC250 Gigabit Ethernet and JMC260 Fast Ethernet chips.
48The following features are supported:
49.Bd -literal -offset indent
50IPv4 transmit/receive IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload
51IPv6 transmit TCP/UDP checksum offload
52IPv4 and IPv6 TCP segmentation offload
53VLAN tag insertion/removal
54Interrupt coalescing
5510/100/1000Mbps operation in full-duplex mode
5610/100Mbps operation in half-duplex mode
57Jumbo frames (up to 9022 bytes)
58.Ed
59.Pp
60Due to hardware limitation checksums and TCP segmentation offload can't
61be enabled if the configured MTU is larger than 4000 bytes.
62.Pp
63Interrupt coalescing can be controlled on a per-adapter basis through
64the following sysctls:
65.Bl -tag -width ".Cm hw.jme.jmeXxX.int_rxtos"
66.It Cm hw.jme.jme\*[Lt]x\*[Gt].int_rxtos
67jme receive interrupt moderation timer, in microseconds (defaults to 100)
68.It Cm hw.jme.jme\*[Lt]x\*[Gt].int_rxct
69jme receive interrupt moderation packet counter (defaults to 128)
70.It Cm hw.jme.jme\*[Lt]x\*[Gt].int_txto
71jme transmit interrupt moderation timer, in microseconds (defaults to 100)
72.It Cm hw.jme.jme\*[Lt]x\*[Gt].int_txct
73jme transmit interrupt moderation packet counter (defaults to 128)

81.Sh HISTORY
82The
83.Nm
84device driver first appeared in
85.Nx 5.0 .
86.Sh BUGS
87Hardware bugs prevent support of IPv6 receive TCP/UDP checksum offload
88in the JMC250 rev A2, and is disabled in the driver.
89This should be revisited when a newer hardware revision is available.
