SYNOPSIS 41To compile this driver into the kernel, 42place the following line in your 43kernel configuration file: 44.Bd -ragged -offset indent 45.Cd "device em" 46.Ed 47.Pp 48Optional multiqueue support is available via the following kernel 49compile options: 50.Bd -ragged -offset indent 51.Cd "options EM_MULTIQUEUE" 52.Ed 53.Pp 54Note: Activating EM_MULTIQUEUE support is not supported by Intel. 55.Pp 56Alternatively, to load the driver as a 57module at boot time, place the following line in 58.Xr loader.conf 5 : 59.Bd -literal -offset indent 60if_em_load="YES" 61.Ed 62.Sh DESCRIPTION 63The 64.Nm 65driver provides support for PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on 66the Intel 82540, 82541ER, 82541PI, 82542, 82543, 82544, 82545, 82546, 6782546EB, 82546GB, 82547, 82571, 81572, 82573, and 82574 Ethernet 68controller chips. 69The driver supports Transmit/Receive checksum offload 70and Jumbo Frames on all but 82542-based adapters. 71Furthermore it supports TCP segmentation offload (TSO) on all adapters but 72those based on the 82543, 82544 and 82547 controller chips. 73The identification LEDs of the adapters supported by the 74.Nm 75driver can be controlled via the 76.Xr led 4 77API for localization purposes. 78For further hardware information, see the 79.Pa README 80included with the driver. 81.Pp 82For questions related to hardware requirements, 83refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter. 84All hardware requirements listed apply to use with 85.Fx . 86.Pp 87Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting. 88Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the 89.Xr ifconfig 8 90utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames. 91The maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16114. 92.Pp 93This driver version supports VLANs. 94The 95.Nm 96driver supports the following media types: 97.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP" 98.It Cm autoselect 99Enables auto-negotiation for speed and duplex. 100.It Cm 10baseT/UTP 101Sets 10Mbps operation. 102Use the 103.Cm mediaopt 104option to select 105.Cm full-duplex 106mode. 107.It Cm 100baseTX 108Sets 100Mbps operation. 109Use the 110.Cm mediaopt 111option to select 112.Cm full-duplex 113mode. 114.It Cm 1000baseSX 115Sets 1000Mbps operation. 116Only 117.Cm full-duplex 118mode is supported at this speed. 119.It Cm 1000baseTX 120Sets 1000Mbps operation. 121Only 122.Cm full-duplex 123mode is supported at this speed. 124.El 125.Pp 126The 127.Nm 128driver supports the following media options: 129.Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex" 130.It Cm full-duplex 131Forces full-duplex operation 132.It Cm half-duplex 133Forces half-duplex operation. 134.El 135.Pp 136Only use 137.Cm mediaopt 138to set the driver to 139.Cm full-duplex . 140If 141.Cm mediaopt 142is not specified, the driver defaults to 143.Cm half-duplex . 144.Pp 145For more information on configuring this device, see 146.Xr ifconfig 8 . 147.Sh HARDWARE 148The 149.Nm 150driver
