HME(4)                 FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual                 HME(4)

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 Fast Ethernet
     interfaces.

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:

     o   Sun PCI SunSwift Adapter (``SUNW,hme'')
     o   Sun SBus SunSwift Adapter (``hme'' and ``SUNW,hme'')
     o   Sun PCI Sun100BaseT Adapter 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'')
     o   Sun SBus Sun100BaseT 2.0 (``SUNW,hme'')
     o   Sun PCI Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'')
     o   Sun SBus Quad FastEthernet Controller (``SUNW,qfe'')

NOTES
     On sparc64 the hme driver respects the local-mac-address? system configu-
     ration 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 ver-
     sions on boards equipped with more than one Ethernet interface and all
     add-on cards except the single-port SBus versions.

HISTORY
     The hme driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.  The first FreeBSD version
     to include it was FreeBSD 5.0.

AUTHORS
     The hme driver was written by Paul Kranenburg <pk@NetBSD.org>.
