JME(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual JME(4)

NAME

jme — JMicron Gigabit/Fast Ethernet driver

SYNOPSIS

To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

device miibus
device jme

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

if_jme_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

The jme device driver provides support for JMicron JMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controllers and JMicron JMC260 PCI Express Fast Ethernet controllers.

All LOMs supported by the jme driver have TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload for both transmit and receive, TCP segmentation offload (TSO), hardware VLAN tag stripping/insertion features, Wake On Lan (WOL) and an interrupt coalescing/moderation mechanism as well as a 64-bit multicast hash filter.

The JMC250 also supports Jumbo Frames (up to 9216 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.

The jme driver supports the following media types:

autoselect

Enable autoselection of the media type and options. The user can manually override the autoselected mode by adding media options to rc.conf(5).

10baseT/UTP

Set 10Mbps operation.

100baseTX

Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.

1000baseTX

Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.

The jme driver supports the following media options:

full-duplex

Force full duplex operation.

half-duplex

Force half duplex operation.

For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

HARDWARE

The jme device driver provides support for the following Ethernet controllers:

JMicron JMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller

JMicron JMC260 PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller

LOADER TUNABLES

Tunables can be set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or stored in loader.conf(5).

hw.jme.msi_disable

This tunable disables MSI support on the Ethernet hardware. The default value is 0.

hw.jme.msix_disable

This tunable disables MSI-X support on the Ethernet hardware. The default value is 0.

SYSCTL VARIABLES

The following variables are available as both sysctl(8) variables and loader(8) tunables:

dev.jme.%d.tx_coal_to

Maximum amount of time to delay for Tx completion interrupt in units of 1us. The accepted range is 1 to 65535, the default is 100 (100us).

dev.jme.%d.tx_coal_pkt

Maximum number of packets to fire Tx completion interrupt. The accepted range is 1 to 255, the default is 8.

dev.jme.%d.rx_coal_to

Maximum amount of time to delay for Rx completion interrupt in units of 1us. The accepted range is 1 to 65535, the default is 100 (100us).

dev.jme.%d.rx_coal_pkt

Maximum number of packets to fire Rx completion interrupt. The accepted range is 1 to 255, the default is 2.

dev.jme.%d.process_limit

Maximum amount of Rx events to be processed in the event loop before rescheduling a taskqueue. The accepted range is 10 to 255, the default value is 128 events. The interface does not need to be brought down and up again before a change takes effect.
