As of today, April 14 2010, sge(4) committed to HEAD. I committed sge(4) to both stable/8 and stable/7 so sge(4) should be available on the stable branch(April 24 2010). So if you're user of HEAD, stable/8 and stable/7, please don't use sge(4) in this directory. This is a producation ready driver for Silicon Integrated Systems SiS190/SiS191 ethernet controller. The driver was originally written by Alexander Pohoyda for FreeBSD. The driver is based on register information of Linux and OpenSolaris driver. Nikolay Denev enhanced several parts of code after that. There are two variants of SiS controller that would be supported by this driver. o SiS190 Fast ethernet controller o SiS191 Fast/Gigabit ethernet controller At this time only SiS191 was tested. Because I don't have access to any SiS190/SiS191 controllers I have to rely on feedbacks from users to fix/commit the driver to tree. So if you have one of these controllers please give it try and let me know how it works out on your system. The driver supports all offloading features of controller except Jumbo frame and WOL. The driver may have unreliable manual media configuration but most cases it should work out of the box. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. How to build sge(4) kernel module? Download the following files to a temporary directory. You should have installed kernel sources to build sge(4) from source files. It should build without problems both 8.x and 7.x. #cd /tmp #mkdir SGE #cd SGE #fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/sge/if_sge.c #fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/sge/if_sgereg.h #fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/sge/Makefile #make 2. How to test sge(4)? Simply load sge(4) kernel module built above and try to use network. #kldload ./if_sge.ko #ifconfig sge0 inet x.x.x.x netmask y.y.y.y up or if you use DHCP, #dhclient sge0 3. How to report success/issuess? Send the success/issue to freebsd-current@FreeBSD.org or yongari@FreeBSD.org Include dmesg output as well as the output of "pciconf -lcv". If you see issues, please describe the issue with details. Remember I don't have the hardware so detailed explanation of the issue will help a lot. If you know there is reliable way to reproduce the issue also include that information. Thank you.
