-<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">ti</code> driver provides support for PCI
- Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Alteon Networks Tigon Gigabit
- Ethernet controller chip. The Tigon contains an embedded R4000 CPU, Gigabit
- MAC, dual DMA channels and a PCI interface unit. The Tigon II contains two
- R4000 CPUs and other refinements. Either chip can be used in either a 32-bit
- or 64-bit PCI slot. Communication with the chip is achieved via PCI shared
- memory and bus master DMA. The Tigon I and II support hardware multicast
- address filtering, VLAN tag extraction and insertion, and jumbo Ethernet
- frames sizes up to 9000 bytes. Note that the Tigon I chipset is no longer in
- active production: all new adapters should come equipped with Tigon II
- chipsets.</p>
-<p class="Pp">There are several PCI boards available from both Alteon and other
- vendors that use the Tigon chipset under OEM contract. The
- <code class="Nm">ti</code> driver has been tested with the following
- Tigon-based adapters:</p>
-<ul class="Bl-bullet Bd-indent">
- <li>The Alteon AceNIC V Gigabit (1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-T variants) Ethernet
- adapter</li>
- <li>The 3Com 3c985-SX Gigabit Ethernet adapter</li>
- <li>The Netgear GA620 Gigabit (1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-T variants) Ethernet
- adapter</li>
- <li>The Digital EtherWORKS 1000SX PCI Gigabit Adapter (DEGPA)</li>
-</ul>
-<p class="Pp">The following should also be supported but have not yet been
- tested:</p>
-<ul class="Bl-bullet Bd-indent">
- <li>Silicon Graphics PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter</li>
-</ul>
-<p class="Pp">While the Tigon chipset supports 10, 100 and 1000Mbps speeds,
- support for 10 and 100Mbps speeds is only available on boards with the
- proper transceivers. Most adapters are only designed to work at 1000Mbps,
- however the driver should support those NICs that work at lower speeds as
- well.</p>
-<p class="Pp">Support for jumbo frames is provided via the interface MTU
- setting. Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
- <a class="Xr">ifconfig(8)</a> utility configures the adapter to receive and
- transmit jumbo frames. Using jumbo frames can greatly improve performance
- for certain tasks, such as file transfers and data streaming.</p>
-<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">ti</code> driver supports the following media
- types:</p>
-<dl class="Bl-tag">
- <dt>autoselect</dt>
- <dd>Enable autoselection of the media type and options.</dd>
- <dt>10baseT/UTP</dt>
- <dd>Set 10Mbps operation. The <var class="Ar">mediaopt</var> option can also
- be used to select either <var class="Ar">full-duplex</var> or
- <var class="Ar">half-duplex modes</var>.</dd>
- <dt>100baseTX</dt>
- <dd>Set 100Mbps (fast Ethernet) operation. The <var class="Ar">mediaopt</var>
- option can also be used to select either <var class="Ar">full-duplex</var>
- or <var class="Ar">half-duplex</var> modes.</dd>
- <dt>1000baseSX</dt>
- <dd>Set 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber) operation. Only full
- <var class="Ar">full-duplex</var> mode is supported at this speed.</dd>
- <dt>1000baseT</dt>
- <dd>Set 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet over twisted pair) operation. Only full
- <var class="Ar">full-duplex</var> mode is supported at this speed.</dd>
-</dl>
-<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">ti</code> driver supports the following media
- options:</p>
-<dl class="Bl-tag">
- <dt>full-duplex</dt>
- <dd>Force full duplex operation.</dd>
- <dt>half-duplex</dt>
- <dd>Force half duplex operation.</dd>
-</dl>
-<p class="Pp">The Alteon Tigon and Tigon II support IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in
- hardware. The <code class="Nm">ti</code> supports this feature of the chip's
- firmware. See <a class="Xr">ifconfig(8)</a> for information on how to enable
- this feature.</p>
