CAS(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual CAS(4) NAME cas -- Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet driver SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device miibus device cas Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_cas_load="YES" DESCRIPTION The cas driver provides support for the Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and Na- tional Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers. All controllers supported by the cas driver have TCP/UDP checksum of- fload capability for both receive and transmit, support for the recep- tion and transmission of extended frames for vlan(4) and an interrupt coalescing/moderation mechanism as well as a 512-bit multicast hash filter. The cas driver also supports Jumbo Frames (up to 9022 bytes), which can be configured via the interface MTU setting. Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames. HARDWARE The chips supported by the cas driver are: • National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet • Sun Cassini Gigabit Ethernet • Sun Cassini+ Gigabit Ethernet The following add-on cards are known to work with the cas driver at this time: • Sun GigaSwift Ethernet 1.0 MMF (Cassini Kuheen) (part no. 501-5524) • Sun GigaSwift Ethernet 1.0 UTP (Cassini) (part no. 501-5902) • Sun GigaSwift Ethernet UTP (GCS) (part no. 501-6719) • Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet UTP (QGE) (part no. 501-6522) • Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet PCI-X (QGE-X) (part no. 501-6738) SEE ALSO altq(4), miibus(4), netintro(4), vlan(4), ifconfig(8) HISTORY The cas device driver appeared in FreeBSD 8.0 and FreeBSD 7.3. It is named after the cas driver which first appeared in OpenBSD 4.1 and sup- ports the same set of controllers but is otherwise unrelated. AUTHORS The cas driver was written by Marius Strobl <marius@FreeBSD.org> based on the gem(4) driver. FreeBSD 14.3 April 18, 2023 CAS(4)
