SYNOPSIS 41To compile this driver into the kernel, 42place the following lines in your 43kernel configuration file: 44.Bd -ragged -offset indent 45.Cd "device em" 46.Ed 47.Pp 48Alternatively, to load the driver as a 49module at boot time, place the following line in 50.Xr loader.conf 5 : 51.Bd -literal -offset indent 52if_em_load="YES" 53.Ed 54.Sh DESCRIPTION 55The 56.Nm 57driver provides support for PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on 58the Intel 82540, 82541ER, 82541PI, 82542, 82543, 82544, 82545, 82546, 5982546EB, 82546GB, 82547 and 82573 Ethernet controller chips. 60The driver supports Transmit/Receive checksum offload 61and Jumbo Frames only on 82540, 82543, 82544 and 82546-based adapters. 62For further hardware information, see the 63.Pa README 64included with the driver. 65.Pp 66For questions related to hardware requirements, 67refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter. 68All hardware requirements listed apply to use with 69.Fx . 70.Pp 71Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting. 72Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the 73.Xr ifconfig 8 74utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames. 75The maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16114. 76.Pp 77This driver version supports VLANs. 78For information on enabling VLANs, see the 79.Pa README . 80The 81.Nm 82driver supports the following media types: 83.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP" 84.It Cm autoselect 85Enables auto-negotiation for speed and duplex. 86.It Cm 10baseT/UTP 87Sets 10Mbps operation. 88Use the 89.Cm mediaopt 90option to select 91.Cm full-duplex 92mode. 93.It Cm 100baseTX 94Sets 100Mbps operation. 95Use the 96.Cm mediaopt 97option to select 98.Cm full-duplex 99mode. 100.It Cm 1000baseSX 101Sets 1000Mbps operation. 102Only 103.Cm full-duplex 104mode is supported at this speed. 105.It Cm 1000baseTX 106Sets 1000Mbps operation. 107Only 108.Cm full-duplex 109mode is supported at this speed. 110.El 111.Pp 112The 113.Nm 114driver supports the following media options: 115.Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex" 116.It Cm full-duplex 117Forces full-duplex operation 118.It Cm half-duplex 119Forces half-duplex operation. 120.El 121.Pp 122Only use 123.Cm mediaopt 124to set the driver to 125.Cm full-duplex . 126If 127.Cm mediaopt 128is not specified, the driver defaults to 129.Cm half-duplex . 130.Pp 131For more information on configuring this device, see 132.Xr ifconfig 8 . 133.Sh HARDWARE 134The 135.Nm 136driver supports Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Intel 13782540, 82541ER, 82541PI, 82542, 82543, 82544, 82545, 82546, 82546EB, 13882546GB, 82547 and 82573 controller chips: 139.Pp 140.Bl -bullet -compact 141.It 142Intel PRO/1000 CT Network Connection (82547) 143.It 144Intel PRO/1000 F Server
