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"
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.

driver first appeared in
