CAS(4)			     Kernel Interfaces Manual			  CAS(4)

NAME
     cas -- Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Giga-
     bit 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 National
     Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet controllers.

     All controllers supported by the cas driver have TCP/UDP  checksum  offload
     capability  for  both  receive  and transmit, support for the reception and
     transmission of extended frames  for  vlan(4)  and  an  interrupt	coalesc-
     ing/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 supports 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 15.1			 April 18, 2023 			  CAS(4)
