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.
