.Nm em
|
|
.Nd
|
|
Intel(R) PRO/1000 gigabit Ethernet driver for the FreeBSD operating system
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device em"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for PCI gigabit Ethernet adapters based on
|
|
the Intel 82542, 82543 and 82544 Ethernet controller chip.
|
|
The driver supports Transmit/Receive checksum offload
|
|
and Jumbo Frames only on 82543 and 82544-based adapters.
|
|
For a list of supported adapters, see the README
|
|
included with the driver.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For questions related to hardware requirements,
|
|
refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter.
|
|
All hardware requirements listed apply to use with FreeBSD.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting.
|
|
Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.
|
|
The maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16114.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the following media types:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It autoselect
|
|
Enables auto-negotiation for speed and duplex.
|
|
.It 10baseT/UTP
|
|
Sets 10Mbps operation.
|
|
Use the
|
|
.Ar mediaopt
|
|
option to select
|
|
.Ar full-duplex
|
|
mode.
|
|
.It 100baseTX
|
|
Sets 100Mbps operation.
|
|
Use the
|
|
.Ar mediaopt
|
|
option to select
|
|
.Ar full-duplex
|
|
mode.
|
|
.It 1000baseSX
|
|
Sets 1000Mbps operation.
|
|
Only
|
|
.Ar full-duplex
|
|
mode is supported at this speed.
|
|
.It 1000baseTX
|
|
Sets 1000Mbps operation.
|
|
Only
|
|
.Ar full-duplex
|
|
mode is supported at this speed.

.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It full-duplex
|
|
Forces full-duplex operation
|
|
.It half-duplex
|
|
Forces half-duplex operation.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only use mediaopt to set the driver to full-duplex. If mediaopt is not specified, the driver defaults to half-duplex.
