NAME

     ixg -- Intel(R) 10Gb Ethernet driver

SYNOPSIS

     ixg* at pci? dev ? function ?

DESCRIPTION

     The ixg driver provides support for PCI 10Gb Ethernet adapters based on the Intel(R) 82598EB and 82599 10 GbE Controllers.  The driver sup-
     ports Jumbo Frames, TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO).

     For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel 10GbE adapter.  All hardware requirements
     listed apply to use with NetBSD.

     Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting.  Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility
     configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.  On NetBSD, the maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 9000 bytes.

     This driver version supports VLANs.  For information on enabling VLANs, see ifconfig(8).

HARDWARE

     The ixg driver supports the following cards:

     o	 Intel(R) 10 Gigabit XF SR/AF Dual Port Server Adapter
     o	 Intel(R) 10 Gigabit XF SR/LR Server Adapter
     o	 Intel(R) 82598EB 10 Gigabit AF Network Connection
     o	 Intel(R) 82598EB 10 Gigabit AT CX4 Network Connection

DIAGNOSTICS

     ixg%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: memory  A fatal initialization error has occurred.

     ixg%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: interrupt	A fatal initialization error has occurred.

     ixg%d: watchdog timeout -- resetting  The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with the network connection
     (cable).

SUPPORT

     For general information and support, go to the Intel support website at: http://support.intel.com.

SEE ALSO

HISTORY

     The ixg device driver comes from FreeBSD, where it is called ixgbe(4).  It first appeared in NetBSD 6.0.

AUTHORS

     The ixg driver was written by Intel Corporation <freebsdnic@mailbox.intel.com>.  It was imported from FreeBSD into NetBSD by
     David Young <dyoung@NetBSD.org>.

BUGS

     The hardware supports a maximum MTU of 16114 bytes, but the NetBSD port of the driver supports only 9000 bytes.

     The hardware supports Message-Signalled Interrupts (MSI and MSI-X) and Receive-Side Scaling (RSS), however, these features are not enabled in
     the NetBSD driver at this time.

NAME

     ixgb -- Intel(R) PRO/10GbE Ethernet driver for the FreeBSD operating system

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   device ixgb

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_ixgb_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The ixgb driver provides support for PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Intel 82597EX Ethernet controller chips.  The driver supports
     Transmit/Receive checksum offload and Jumbo Frames.

     For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel PRO/10GbE adapter.  All hardware require-
     ments listed apply to use with FreeBSD.

     Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting.  Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility
     configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.  The maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16114.

     This driver version supports VLANs.  For information on enabling VLANs, see ifconfig(8).

HARDWARE

     The ixgb driver supports the following cards:

     o	 Intel PRO/10GbE LR Server Adapter
     o	 Intel PRO/10GbE SR Server Adapter

DIAGNOSTICS

     ixgb%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: memory  A fatal initialization error has occurred.

     ixgb%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: interrupt  A fatal initialization error has occurred.

     ixgb%d: watchdog timeout -- resetting  The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with the network connection
     (cable).
