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. +The driver supports Transmit/Receive checksum offload +and Jumbo Frames on all but 82542-based adapters. +Furthermore it supports TCP segmentation offload (TSO) on all adapters but +those based on the 82543, 82544 and 82547 controller chips. +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 version supports 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
