.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm em
|
|
.Nd "Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
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 .

.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).

|
|
Disable or enable Energy Efficient Ethernet.
|
|
Default 1 (disabled).

|
Number of receive descriptors allocated by the driver.
|
|
The default value is 1024 for adapters newer than 82547,
|
|
and 256 for older ones.
|
|
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.
|
|
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
