(Some older cards - use an external PHY.) The VT6130/VT6132 is the PCI express version of - Velocity family. The MAC supports TCP/IP hardware checksums (IPv4 only), TCP - large send, VLAN tag insertion and stripping, as well as VLAN filtering, a - 64-entry CAM filter and a 64-entry VLAN filter, 64-bit multicast hash - filter, 4 separate transmit DMA queues, flow control and jumbo frames (not - on VT6130/VT6132) up to 16K in size. The Velocity family controllers have a - 16K receive FIFO and 48K transmit FIFO.</p> -<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">vge</code> driver takes advantage of the - controller's checksum offload and VLAN tagging features, as well as the - jumbo frame (except VT6130/VT6132) and CAM filter support. The CAM filter is - used for multicast address filtering to provide 64 perfect multicast address - filter support. If it is necessary for the interface to join more than 64 - multicast groups, the driver will switch over to using the hash filter.</p> -<p class="Pp">The jumbo frame support can be enabled by setting the interface - MTU to any value larger than the default of 1500 bytes, up to a maximum of - 9000 bytes. Jumbo frames are disabled on the VT6130/VT6132 controllers - because the TX MAC will hang when trying to send a frame that is larger than - 4K.
