92Bug fixes to 4.0.4:
93===================
94 1) bug#4829398 code cleanup for ethernet bootup messages
95
96
974.0.12 code drop from Intel on 3/18/2003
98========================================
99
100 This drop had extensive changes from 4.0.4. Many changes after
101 4.0.4 were realted to new hardware (a.k.a. BayCity chipset),
102 not relevant to Grizzly.After looking at the changelog from Intel,
103 we decided not to do a putback but rather take only high priority
104 fixes from this drop and generate a new version 4.0.4.1.
105
106 Here is the changelog supplied by Intel for this drop:
107
108 ________________________________________________________________________
109 Component Name: Unix-Solaris_8254x_BayCity_Intel
110 Description: Bay City software component for gigabit products
111 ________________________________________________________________________
112
113
114 ---Version: 4.0.13 Date: 3/14/2003 5:00:00 PM---
115 Added transmit mutex locking to the 82547 workaround code.
116
117 ---Version: 4.0.12 Date: 3/10/2003 8:01:00 PM---
118 Added new shared code with LED link speed fix
119
120 ---Version: 4.0.11 Date: 3/7/2003 5:57:00 PM---
121 Updated the Tanacross FIFO hang workaround to reset FIFO pointers instead of sending autonomous packets.
122
123 ---Version: 4.0.10 Date: 3/4/2003 2:39:00 PM---
124 Removed an extra sdu adjustment that was left in by accident
125
126 ---Version: 4.0.9 Date: 3/4/2003 11:13:00 AM---
127 Removed the first call to adapter_stop. This was called before the HW struct was properly initialized, and could cause hangs.
128
129 Changed reported ethernet sdu from 2024 to 1500, as driver could be configured for invalid frame MTU sizes in Solaris 9.
130
131 Added Tanacross workaround for FIFO hang.
132
133 ---Version: 4.0.8 Date: 2/25/2003 2:27:00 PM---
134 Shared code update including Phy init script.
135 Smartspeed workaround added. e1000g_smartspeed called from LocalTimer function every two seconds when link is down.
136
137 ---Version: 4.0.7 Date: 2/18/2003 11:41:00 AM---
138 Updated to include bug fixes from the shared code.
139
140 ---Version: 4.0.5 Date: 1/31/2003 10:13:00 AM---
141 Support for new hardware changes
142 Removed the extra ack sent at the end of the attach_req routine. This extra ack previously made IPv6 plumbing on Solaris 9 fail.
143
144
1454.0.4.1
146=======
147 This version is not an Intel drop but 4.0.4 merged with two
148 high priority fixes from 4.0.12. We will give back the 4.0.4.1
149 driver back to Intel, per their request, so they have the exact
150 code that we are releasing through Solaris.
151
152 The following are the two fixes selected for inclusion from
153 4.0.12 codebase:
154
155 1) Removing the first call to adapter_stop as discussed in
156 4.0.12 changelog.
157
158 2) Corrections to MTU size calculations first introduced
159 in our 4.0.4 putback to bring them into sync with 4.0.12
160 MTU size calculations.
161
162 We also added README file (current file you are reading) during
163 this putback.
164
1654.0.4.2
166=======
167 This version has the following fixes:
168
169 1) bug#4857098: e1000g driver assumes another intel card as its own.
170 The fix involved eliminating 1009, 1012, 1015, 1016, 1017
171 device-ids from e1000g nodelist so that they do not conflict
172 with iprb's subsystem-ids.
173
174 This fix has to be reverted later once we have a proper fix for
175 bug#4859426.
176
177 2) bug#4853683: e1000g lacks a large number of expected kstats
178 The fix involved three steps: a) Renaming some of the existing
179 kstats to comply with WDD documentation b) Computing some of
180 those which are not being tracked c) Supplying zero for the rest
181 the error stats which are not being tracked.
182
183 This fix has to be revisited to improvise the statistics in
184 future.
185
186 3) bug#4862529: System panics during configuring devices on a Dell 4-way
187 servers. The fix involved removing all the devic-ids from nodelist
188 except for 1010. This means that we support now only the grizzly
189 on-board gigabit chipset and "Intel Pro/1000 MT Dual Server Adapter".
190
191 This fix has to be reverted later once we have a proper fix for
192 bug#4859426.
193
1944.0.4.3
195=======
196 This version has the following fixes:
197
198 1) bug#4874857: ipv6 ping fails on bootup for e1000g.
199 The fix involved implementing multicast tables both at per stream
200 level and per device level.
201
202 2) bug#4875743: null pointer dereference in ddi_dma_addr_bind_handle.
203 The fix involved adding LastTxDescriptorBuf to struct e1000g and
204 handling consequent proper calculations for LastTxDescriptor.
205
206 3) bug#4882541: setting up ethernet address causes machine to panic.
207 The fix involved removing a spurious log message which was causing
208 the panic.
209
210 4) bug#4883302: Reinstate the removed device-ids - phase 2.
211 The fix involved some chip initializations to handle 1000 id.
212
213 5) bug#4919285: device id 8086,100e needs to be added
214 The fix needed for the Intel Precision 350 workstation
215
2164.2.11
217======
218
219We need to sync up with the latest Intel code base for e1000g driver.
220
221Intel is currently at version 4.2.11 while we are on 4.0.4 branch.
222The exact version under 4.0.4 branch is 4.0.4.3. Since we are on
223the branch while Intel is working on the main trunk, we have had
224lot of friction in getting timely fixes from Intel. The current
225syncing up with their main trunk lets us a smooth migration path.
226
227The new code base also would provide us with support for additional
228cards including Quad port cards (See bugs: 4921433, 4914460).
229In our old 4.0.4 branch, we had to drop support for a lot of cards
230for various problems; with the current syncing up, we would be able
231to support so many various cards except for the cards clashing with
232iprb driver.
233
234The new code base also has support for additional new chipsets. The code
235base also benefits from any fixes to the shared code base with other
236operating system drivers.
237
238The new codebase also has lot of cleanups in terms of various #ifdefs
239and should be much simpler to maintain.
240
241So the list of actual ids take out are:
2421009
2431012
2441013
2451015
2461016
2471017

16Historically e1000g and igb were maintained by two different teams at Sun and
17thus while they used identical common code from Intel, they each only ever used
18portions of it and were not kept in sync with one another. To help make
19maintenance and the adding of new devices easier in illumos, we have gone
20through and made it so that igb and e1000g rely on the same set of common code;
21however, this code is not in its own module, each has its own copy of the code
22compiled into it for various reasons which will be laid out below.
23
24As part of the interface with the common code, the driver is required to define
25an e1000_osdep.h. Currently each version of the driver defines its *own* version
26of this header file in their own driver specific directory. However, the code
27that implements this is different in each directory, specifically e1000g_osdep.c
28and igb_osdep.c. It's important that they have different names and not be called
29the same thing due to how the uts makefiles work.

31Deviations from the common FreeBSD code:
32
33We have a few differences from the common version of the FreeBSD code that exist
34so that we can both gather firmware information and that have workarounds for
35older chipsets. While, we would like to get that to be synced up and common, it
36is not currently.
37
38Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is not enabled by default. This technology was
39introduced with the I350 family of parts in the igb driver. However, there have
40been issues seen with it in the wild and thus we opt to disable it by default
41until tests have proven that there are no longer problems.
42
43To help make that easier, we've documented here what these extra definitions
44are. DO NOT just blindly copy over new common code. There is more work that
45needs to be done in terms of changed interfaces and expectations for the
46drivers.
47
48# e1000_defines.h
49
50In e1000_defines.h we add the following three definitions which are not
51currently present. These definitions allow us to attach firware revisions and
52other information to the devinfo tree.
53
54#define NVM_VERSION 0x0005
55#define NVM_OEM_OFFSET_0 6
56#define NVM_OEM_OFFSET_1 7
57
58# Workarounds for the 82541 and 82547
59
60There are various workarounds in place for the 82541 and 82547 due to errata
61that exist for these devices. This has traditionally been a part of the common
62code. Until this can get merged into the common code completely, we've spearted
63out the changes that are the actual C functions into
64uts/common/io/e1000g/e1000g_workarounds.c. However, this alone is not
65sufficient. You must make sure that in e1000_hw.h that the struc
66e1000_dev_spec_82541 actually looks like the following:
67
68struct e1000_dev_spec_82541 {
69 enum e1000_dsp_config dsp_config;
70 enum e1000_ffe_config ffe_config;
71 u32 tx_fifo_head;
72 u32 tx_fifo_start;
73 u32 tx_fifo_size;
74 u16 dsp_reset_counter;
75 u16 spd_default;
76 bool phy_init_script;
77 bool ttl_workaround;
78};
79
80Similarly in e1000_82541.h you must make sure the following macros and external
81function declarations are present:
82
83#define E1000_FIFO_MULTIPLIER 0x80
84#define E1000_FIFO_HDR_SIZE 0x10
85#define E1000_FIFO_GRANULARITY 0x10
86#define E1000_FIFO_PAD_82547 0x3E0
87#define E1000_ERR_FIFO_WRAP 8
88
89#define DSP_RESET_ENABLE 0x0
90#define DSP_RESET_DISABLE 0x2
91#define E1000_MAX_DSP_RESETS 10
92
93#define E1000_ROUNDUP(size, unit) (((size) + (unit) - 1) & ~((unit) - 1))
94
95s32 e1000_fifo_workaround_82547(struct e1000_hw *hw, u16 length);
96void e1000_update_tx_fifo_head_82547(struct e1000_hw *hw, u32 length);
97void e1000_set_ttl_workaround_state_82541(struct e1000_hw *hw, bool state);
98bool e1000_ttl_workaround_enabled_82541(struct e1000_hw *hw);
99s32 e1000_igp_ttl_workaround_82547(struct e1000_hw *hw);
100
101# EEE
102
103By default we disable all support for EEE. To cause this to happen you must
104make the following change in e1000_82575.c's init_mac_params.
105
106From:
107 394 /* Enable EEE default settings for EEE supported devices */
108 395 if (mac->type >= e1000_i350)
109 396 dev_spec->eee_disable = FALSE;
110To:
111 394 /* Enable EEE default settings for EEE supported devices */
112 395 if (mac->type >= e1000_i350)
113 396 dev_spec->eee_disable = TRUE;
114
115Future work:
116
117The next step here is to take the osdep portions and merge them. That would
118allow us to build one common misc module e1000api that both igb and e1000g
119depend on rather than building separate copies of the common code into each
120driver. Another potential option which may prove to have less value is to take
121all of the gld and ddi logic and have one driver export that leaving e1000g and
122igb as small stubs which depend on that. Note however, that the latter is not
123how our upstream is currently structuring their igb and em (FreeBSD's e1000g)
124drivers.

21Overview
22========
23
24This file describes the FreeBSD* driver for Intel Network Connection.
25This driver has been developed for use with FreeBSD, Release 7.x.
26
27For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
28supplied with your Gigabit adapter. All hardware requirements listed
29apply to use with FreeBSD.
30
31
32Identifying Your Adapter
33========================
34
35For information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
36Driver ID Guide at:
37
38http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-012904.htm
39
40
41For the latest Intel network drivers for FreeBSD, see:
42
43http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/support_intel.aspx
44
45
46NOTE: Mobile adapters are not fully supported.
47NOTE: The Intel(R) 82562v 10/100 Network Connection only provides 10/100
48support.
49
50Building and Installation
51=========================
52
53NOTE: The driver can be installed as a dynamic loadable kernel module or
54 compiled into the kernel. You must have kernel sources installed in
55 order to compile the driver module.
56
57In the instructions below, x.x.x is the driver version as indicated in the
58name of the driver tar file.
59
601. Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice. For
61 example, use /home/username/em or /usr/local/src/em.
62
632. Untar/unzip the archive:
64
65 tar xzvf em-x.x.x.tar.gz
66
67 This will create an em-x.x.x directory.
68
693. To create a loadable module, perform the following steps.
70 NOTE: To compile the driver into the kernel, go directly to step 4.
71
72 a. To compile the module
73
74 cd em-x.x.x
75 make
76
77 b. To install the compiled module to the system directory:
78
79 make install
80
81 c. If you want the driver to load automatically when the system is booted:
82
83 1. Edit /boot/loader.conf, and add the following line:
84
85 if_em_load="YES"
86
874. To compile the driver into the kernel, enter:
88
89 cd em-x.x.x/src
90 cp *.[ch] /usr/src/sys/dev/em
91
92 Edit the kernel configuration file (i.e., GENERIC or MYKERNEL) in
93 /usr/src/sys/i386/conf, and ensure the following line is present:
94
95 device em
96
97 Compile and install the kernel. The system must be rebooted for the
98 kernel updates to take effect. For additional information on compiling
99 the kernel, consult the FreeBSD operating system documentation.
100
1015. To assign an IP address to the interface, enter the following:
102
103 ifconfig em<interface_num> <IP_address>
104
1056. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address>
106 is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the interface
107 that is being tested:
108
109 ping <IP_address>
110
1117. To configure the IP address to remain after reboot, edit /etc/rc.conf,
112 and create the appropriate ifconfig_em<interface_num>entry:
113
114 ifconfig_em<interface_num>="<ifconfig_settings>"
115
116 Example usage:
117
118 ifconfig_em0="inet 192.168.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
119
120 NOTE: For assistance, see the ifconfig man page.
121
122
123Speed and Duplex Configuration
124==============================
125
126By default, the adapter auto-negotiates the speed and duplex of the
127connection. If there is a specific need, the ifconfig utility can be used to
128configure the speed and duplex settings on the adapter. Example usage:
129
130 ifconfig em<interface_num> <IP_address> media 100baseTX mediaopt
131 full-duplex
132
133 NOTE: Only use mediaopt to set the driver to full-duplex. If mediaopt is
134 not specified and you are not running at gigabit speed, the driver
135 defaults to half-duplex.
136
137If the interface is currently forced to 100 full duplex, in order to change
138to half duplex you must use this command:
139
140 ifconfig em<interface_num> <IP_address> media 100baseTX -mediaopt
141 full-duplex
142
143
144This driver supports the following media type options:
145
146 autoselect - Enables auto-negotiation for speed and duplex.
147
148 10baseT/UTP - Sets speed to 10 Mbps. Use the ifconfig mediaopt
149 option to select full-duplex mode.
150
151 100baseTX - Sets speed to 100 Mbps. Use the ifconfig mediaopt
152 option to select full-duplex mode.
153
154 1000baseTX - Sets speed to 1000 Mbps. In this case, the driver
155 supports only full-duplex mode.
156
157 1000baseSX - Sets speed to 1000 Mbps. In this case, the driver
158 supports only full-duplex mode.
159
160For more information on the ifconfig utility, see the ifconfig man page.
161
162
163Additional Configurations
164=========================
165
166The driver supports Transmit/Receive Checksum Offload and Jumbo Frames on
167all but the 82542-based adapters. For specific adapters, refer to the
168Identifying Your Adapter section.
169
170 Jumbo Frames
171 ------------
172 To enable Jumbo Frames, use the ifconfig utility to set the Maximum
173 Transport Unit (MTU) frame size above its default of 1500 bytes.
174
175 The Jumbo Frames MTU range for Intel Adapters is 1500 to 16110. To modify
176 the setting, enter the following:
177
178 ifconfig em<interface_num> <hostname or IP address> mtu 9000
179
180 To confirm the MTU used between two specific devices, use:
181
182 route get <destination_IP_address>
183
184 Notes:
185
186 - Only enable Jumbo Frames if your network infrastructure supports them.
187
188 - To enable Jumbo Frames, increase the MTU size on the interface beyond
189 1500.
190
191 - The Jumbo Frames setting on the switch must be set to at least 22 bytes
192 larger than that of the MTU.
193
194 - The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16110. This value coincides
195 with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128.
196
197 - Some Intel gigabit adapters that support Jumbo Frames have a frame size
198 limit of 9238 bytes, with a corresponding MTU size limit of 9216 bytes.
199 The adapters with this limitation are based on the Intel(R) 82571EB,
200 82572EI, 82573L, 82566, 82562, and 80003ES2LAN controller. These
201 correspond to the following product names:
202 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter
203 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter
204 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Network Connection
205 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter
206 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Network Connection
207 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter
208 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PF Quad Port Server Adapter
209 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PF Server Adapter
210 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PF Network Connection
211 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PF Dual Port Server Adapter
212 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PB Server Connection
213 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PL Network Connection
214 Intel(R) PRO/1000 EB Network Connection with I/O Acceleration
215 Intel(R) PRO/1000 EB Backplane Connection with I/O Acceleration
216 Intel(R) 82566DM-2 Gigabit Network Connection
217
218 - Adapters based on the Intel(R) 82542 and 82573V/E controller do not
219 support Jumbo Frames. These correspond to the following product names:
220 Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter
221 Intel(R) PRO/1000 PM Network Connection
222
223 - Using Jumbo Frames at 10 or 100 Mbps may result in poor performance or
224 loss of link.
225
226 - The following adapters do not support Jumbo Frames:
227 Intel(R) 82562V 10/100 Network Connection
228 Intel(R) 82566DM Gigabit Network Connection
229 Intel(R) 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection
230 Intel(R) 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection
231 Intel(R) 82566MC Gigabit Network Connection
232 Intel(R) 82562GT 10/100 Network Connection
233 Intel(R) 82562G 10/100 Network Connection
234 Intel(R) 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection
235 Intel(R) 82562V-2 10/100 Network Connection
236 Intel(R) 82562G-2 10/100 Network Connection
237 Intel(R) 82562GT-2 10/100 Network Connection
238
239 VLANs
240 -----
241 To create a new VLAN interface:
242
243 ifconfig <vlan_name> create
244
245 To associate the VLAN interface with a physical interface and
246 assign a VLAN ID, IP address, and netmask:
247
248 ifconfig <vlan_name> <ip_address> netmask <subnet_mask> vlan
249 <vlan_id> vlandev <physical_interface>
250
251 Example:
252
253 ifconfig vlan10 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 vlan 10 vlandev em0
254
255 In this example, all packets will be marked on egress with 802.1Q VLAN
256 tags, specifying a VLAN ID of 10.
257
258 To remove a VLAN interface:
259
260 Intel Network Connection ifconfig <vlan_name> destroy
261
262
263 Polling
264 -------
265
266 To enable polling in the driver, add the following options to the kernel
267 configuration, and then recompile the kernel:
268
269 options DEVICE_POLLING
270 options HZ=1000
271
272 At runtime use:
273 ifconfig emX polling (to turn polling on)
274 and:
275 ifconfig emX -polling (to turn it off)
276
277
278 Checksum Offload
279 ----------------
280 Checksum offloading is not supported on 82542 Gigabit adapters.
281
282 Checksum offloading supports both TCP and UDP packets and is
283 supported for both transmit and receive.
284
285 Checksum offloading can be enabled or disabled using ifconfig.
286 Both transmit and receive offloading will be either enabled or
287 disabled together. You cannot enable/disable one without the other.
288
289 To enable checksum offloading:
290
291 ifconfig <interface_num> rxcsum
292
293 To disable checksum offloading:
294
295 ifconfig <interface_num> -rxcsum
296
297 To confirm the current setting:
298
299 ifconfig <interface_num>
300
301 Look for the presence or absence of the following line:
302
303 options=3 <RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
304
305 See the ifconfig man page for further information.
306
307
308 TSO
309 ---
310 The FreeBSD driver offers support for TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload).
311
312 You can enable/disable it in two ways/places:
313
314 - sysctl net.inet.tcp.tso=0 (or 1 to enable it)
315
316 Doing this disables TSO in the stack and will affect all adapters.
317
318 - ifconfig emX -tso
319
320 Doing this will disable TSO only for this adapter.
321
322 To enable:
323
324 - ifconfig emX tso
325
326 NOTES: By default only PCI-Express adapters are ENABLED to do TSO. Others
327 can be enabled by the user at their own risk
328 TSO is not supported on 82547 and 82544-based adapters, as well as older adapters.
329
330
331Known Limitations
332=================
333
334 Detected Tx Unit Hang in Quad Port Adapters
335 -------------------------------------------
336
337 In some cases ports 3 and 4 wont pass traffic. Ports 1 and 2 don't show
338 any errors and will pass traffic.
339
340 This issue MAY be resolved by updating to the latest BIOS. You can
341 check your system's BIOS by downloading the Linux Firmware Developer Kit
342 that can be obtained at http://www.linuxfirmwarekit.org/
343
344
345 There are known performance issues with this driver when running UDP traffic
346 with Jumbo Frames.
347 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
348
349 82541/82547 can't link or is slow to link with some link partners
350 -----------------------------------------------------------------
351
352 There is a known compatibility issue where time to link is slow or link is not
353 established between 82541/82547 controllers and some switches. Known switches
354 include:
355 Planex FXG-08TE
356 I-O Data ETG-SH8
357 Netgear GS105v3
358
359 The driver can be compiled with the following changes:
360
361 Edit ./em.x.x.x/src/if_em.h to change the #define EM_MASTER_SLAVE
362 For example, change from:
363
364 #define EM_MASTER_SLAVE e1000_ms_hw_default
365 to:
366 #define EM_MASTER_SLAVE 2
367
368 Use one of the following options:
369 1 = Master mode
370 2 = Slave mode
371 3 = Auto master/slave
372 Setting 2 is recommended.
373
374 Recompile the module:
375 a. To compile the module
376 cd em-x.x.x
377 make clean
378 make
379
380 b. To install the compiled module in system directory:
381 make install
