.Nd "Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
2005-11-18 10:56:28 +00:00
place the following line in your
kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "device em"
.Ed
.Pp
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
if_em_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on
the Intel 82540, 82541ER, 82541PI, 82542, 82543, 82544, 82545, 82546,
82546EB, 82546GB, 82547, 82571, 81572, 82573, and 82574 Ethernet
controller chips.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver also provides support for PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet adapters
based on the Intel 82575, 82576, 82580, i21x and i35x.
.Pp
The driver supports Transmit/Receive checksum offload and Jumbo Frames
on all but 82542-based adapters.
.Pp
Furthermore it supports TCP segmentation offload (TSO) on all adapters but
those based on the 82543, 82544 and 82547 controller chips.
The identification LEDs of the adapters supported by the
.Nm
driver can be controlled via the
.Xr led 4
API for localization purposes.
For further hardware information, see the
.Pa 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
.Fx .
.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
This driver supports hardware assisted VLANs.
The
.Nm
driver supports the following media types:
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
.It Cm autoselect
Enables auto-negotiation for speed and duplex.
.It Cm 10baseT/UTP
Sets 10Mbps operation.
Use the
.Cm mediaopt
option to select
.Cm full-duplex
mode.
.It Cm 100baseTX
Sets 100Mbps operation.
Use the
.Cm mediaopt
option to select
.Cm full-duplex
mode.
.It Cm 1000baseSX
Sets 1000Mbps operation.
Only
.Cm full-duplex
mode is supported at this speed.
.It Cm 1000baseTX
Sets 1000Mbps operation.
Only
.Cm full-duplex
mode is supported at this speed.
.El
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver supports the following media options:
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex"
.It Cm full-duplex
Forces full-duplex operation
.It Cm half-duplex
Forces half-duplex operation.
.El
.Pp
Only use
.Cm mediaopt
to set the driver to
.Cm full-duplex .
If
.Cm mediaopt
is not specified, the driver defaults to
.Cm half-duplex .
.Pp
For more information on configuring this device, see
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
.Sh HARDWARE
The
.Nm
driver supports Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Intel
82540, 82541ER, 82541PI, 82542, 82543, 82544, 82545, 82546, 82546EB,
82546GB, 82547, 82571, 82572, 82573, 82574, 82575, 82576, and 82580

.It Va hw.em.disable_crc_stripping
Disable or enable hardware stripping of CRC field.
This is mostly useful on BMC/IPMI shared interfaces where stripping the CRC
causes remote access over IPMI to fail.
Default 0 (enabled).
Change EM_MULTIQUEUE to a real kernconf entry and enable support for up to 2 rx/tx queues for the 82574. Program the 82574 to enable 5 msix vectors, assign 1 to each rx queue, 1 to each tx queue and 1 to the link handler. Inspired by DragonFlyBSD, enable some RSS logic for handling tx queue handling/processing. Move multiqueue handler functions so that they line up better in a diff review to if_igb.c Always enqueue tx work to be done in em_mq_start, if unable to acquire the TX lock, then this will be processed in the background later by the taskqueue. Remove mbuf argument from em_start_mq_locked() as the work is always enqueued. (stolen from igb) Setup TARC, TXDCTL and RXDCTL registers for better performance and stability in multiqueue and singlequeue implementations. Handle Intel errata 3 and generic multiqueue behavior with the initialization of TARC(0) and TARC(1) Bind interrupt threads to cpus in order. (stolen from igb) Add 2 new DDB functions, one to display the queue(s) and their settings and one to reset the adapter. Primarily used for debugging. In the multiqueue configuration, bump RXD and TXD ring size to max for the adapter (4096). Setup an RDTR of 64 and an RADV of 128 in multiqueue configuration to cut down on the number of interrupts. RADV was arbitrarily set to 2x RDTR and can be adjusted as needed. Cleanup the display in top a bit to make it clearer where the taskqueue threads are running and what they should be doing. Ensure that both queues are processed by em_local_timer() by writing them both to the IMS register to generate soft interrupts. Ensure that an soft interrupt is generated when em_msix_link() is run so that any races between assertion of the link/status interrupt and a rx/tx interrupt are handled. Document existing tuneables: hw.em.eee_setting, hw.em.msix, hw.em.smart_pwr_down, hw.em.sbp Document use of hw.em.num_queues and the new kernel option EM_MULTIQUEUE Thanks to Intel for their continued support of FreeBSD.

.It Va hw.em.rxd
Number of receive descriptors allocated by the driver.
The default value is 1024 for adapters newer than 82547,
and 256 for older ones.
2005-11-17 15:10:40 +00:00
The 82542 and 82543-based adapters can handle up to 256 descriptors,
while others can have up to 4096.
.It Va hw.em.txd
Number of transmit descriptors allocated by the driver.
The default value is 1024 for adapters newer than 82547,
and 256 for older ones.
2005-11-17 15:10:40 +00:00
The 82542 and 82543-based adapters can handle up to 256 descriptors,
while others can have up to 4096.
.It Va hw.em.rx_int_delay
This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of
1.024 microseconds.
The default value is 0, since adapters may hang with this feature
being enabled.
.It Va hw.em.rx_abs_int_delay
If
.Va hw.em.rx_int_delay
is non-zero, this tunable limits the maximum delay in which a receive
interrupt is generated.
.It Va hw.em.tx_int_delay
This value delays the generation of transmit interrupts in units of
1.024 microseconds.
The default value is 64.
.It Va hw.em.tx_abs_int_delay
If
.Va hw.em.tx_int_delay
is non-zero, this tunable limits the maximum delay in which a transmit
interrupt is generated.
