NAME

cas – Sun Cassini 10/100/1Gb Ethernet device

SYNOPSIS

cas* at pci? brgphy* at mii? gentbi* at mii? nsgphy* at mii?

DESCRIPTION

The cas driver provides support for various NICs based on the Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and National Semiconductor Saturn Ethernet controller chips, including the following:

  • Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Adapter (10/100/1000baseT)

  • Sun GigaSwift Ethernet MMF Adapter (1000baseSX)

  • Sun Quad GigaSwift Ethernet UTP Adapter (10/100/1000baseT)

  • Sun Quad GigaSwift PCI-X Adapter (10/100/1000baseT)

  • Sun Dual Gigabit Ethernet and Dual SCSI/P Adapter (10/100/1000baseT)

It uses an internal or external PHY or an external 10-bit interface.

The cas driver supports several media types, which are selected via the ifconfig(8) command. The supported media types are:

media autoselect

Attempt to autoselect the media type (default)

media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex

Use 1000baseT on copper, full duplex

media 1000baseT mediaopt half-duplex

Use 1000baseT on copper, half duplex

media 1000baseSX mediaopt full-duplex

Use 1000baseSX on fiber, full duplex

media 1000baseSX mediaopt half-duplex

Use 1000baseSX on fiber, half duplex

media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex

HISTORY

OpenBSD support for cas first appeared in OpenBSD 4.1.

AUTHORS

The cas driver was written by Mark Kettenis ⟨[email protected]⟩ based on the gem(4) driver.

BUGS

The cas driver does not yet use many of the advanced features the Cassini chip offers.
