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 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, 82571, 81572, 82573, and 82574 Ethernet 60controller chips. 61.Pp 62The 63.Nm 64driver also provides support for PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet adapters 65based on the Intel 82575, 82576, 82580, i21x and i35x. 66.Pp 67The driver supports Transmit/Receive checksum offload and Jumbo Frames 68on all but 82542-based adapters. 69.Pp 70Furthermore it supports TCP segmentation offload (TSO) on all adapters but 71those based on the 82543, 82544 and 82547 controller chips. 72The identification LEDs of the adapters supported by the 73.Nm 74driver can be controlled via the 75.Xr led 4 76API for localization purposes. 77For further hardware information, see the 78.Pa README 79included with the driver. 80.Pp 81For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the 82documentation supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter. 83All hardware requirements listed apply to use with 84.Fx . 85.Pp 86Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting. 87Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the 88.Xr ifconfig 8 89utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames. 90The maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16114. 91.Pp 92This driver supports hardware assisted VLANs. 93The 94.Nm 95driver supports the following media types: 96.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP" 97.It Cm autoselect 98Enables auto-negotiation for speed and duplex. 99.It Cm 10baseT/UTP 100Sets 10Mbps operation. 101Use the 102.Cm mediaopt 103option to select 104.Cm full-duplex 105mode. 106.It Cm 100baseTX 107Sets 100Mbps operation. 108Use the 109.Cm mediaopt 110option to select 111.Cm full-duplex 112mode. 113.It Cm 1000baseSX 114Sets 1000Mbps operation. 115Only 116.Cm full-duplex 117mode is supported at this speed. 118.It Cm 1000baseTX 119Sets 1000Mbps operation. 120Only 121.Cm full-duplex 122mode is supported at this speed. 123.El 124.Pp 125The 126.Nm 127driver supports the following media options: 128.Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex" 129.It Cm full-duplex 130Forces full-duplex operation 131.It Cm half-duplex 132Forces half-duplex operation. 133.El 134.Pp 135Only use 136.Cm mediaopt 137to set the driver to 138.Cm full-duplex . 139If 140.Cm mediaopt 141is not specified, the driver defaults to 142.Cm half-duplex . 143.Pp 144For more information on configuring this device, see 145.Xr ifconfig 8 . 146.Sh HARDWARE 147The 148.Nm 149driver supports Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Intel 15082540,
