NAME

       nxge — Neterion Xframe 10GbE Server/Storage adapter driver

SYNOPSIS

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

             device nxge

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

             if_nxge_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

       The  nxge  driver provides support for Neterion Xframe-I and Xframe-II adapters.  The driver supports TCP
       Segmentation Offload (TSO/LSO), Large Receive  Offload  (LRO),  Jumbo  Frames  (5  buffer  mode),  Header
       Separation (Rx 2 buffer mode), VLAN, and Promiscuous mode.

       For    general    information    and    support,    please    visit    the    Neterion    support    page
       http://www.neterion.com/support/support.html.

       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 transmit and receive Jumbo Frames.  Xframe
       adapters support Jumbo Frames up to 9600 bytes.

       For Jumbo Frames, the driver will try to allocate physically contiguous buffers.  Failures to do  so  may
       degrade the performance.  To resolve such problems, please visit http://www.neterion.com where additional
       information and a kernel patch can be found.

       For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
