NAME

       vxge — Neterion X3100 10GbE Server/Storage adapter driver

SYNOPSIS

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

             device vxge

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

             if_vxge_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

       The  vxge  driver  provides  support  for  Neterion X3100 adapters.  The driver supports TCP Segmentation
       Offload (TSO/LSO), Large  Receive  Offload  (LRO),  Jumbo  Frames,  Receive  Traffic  Hash  (RTH),  VLAN,
       Promiscuous mode and Multi function mode.

       The vxge driver supports the following function modes:

             SF1_VP17 - 1 function with 17 VPATHs

             MF8_VP2 - 8 functions with 2 VPATHs per function

             MF2_VP8 - 2 functions, 8 Paths/Function

             MF4_VP4 - 4 Functions, 4 Paths/Function

             MF8P_VP2 - 8 functions with 2 VPATHs per function required for DirectIO

       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.  X3100
       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).
