19 19 The \fBixgbe\fR 10 Gigabit Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
20 20 clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface,
21 21 \fBdlpi\fR(7P), on Intel 10-Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet controllers.
22 22 .sp
23 23 .LP
24 24 The \fBixgbe\fR driver functions include controller initialization, frame
25 25 transmit and receive, promiscuous and multicast support, and error recovery and
26 26 reporting.

38 63 The \fBixgbe\fR driver is managed by the \fBdladm\fR(1M) command line utility,
39 64 which allows VLANs to be defined on top of \fBixgbe\fR instances and for
40 65 \fBixgbe\fR instances to be aggregated. See \fBdladm\fR(1M) for more details.

43 68 You must send an explicit DL_ATTACH_REQ message to associate the opened stream
44 69 with a particular device (PPA). The PPA ID is interpreted as an unsigned
45 70 integer data type and indicates the corresponding device instance (unit)
46 71 number. The driver returns an error (DL_ERROR_ACK) if the PPA field value does

98 128 By default, the \fBixgbe\fR driver performs auto-negotiation to select the link
99 129 speed and mode. Link speed and mode can only be 10000 Mbps full-duplex for fiber, and only 10000, 1000, or 100 Mbps full-duplex for copper. See the
100 130 \fIIEEE802.3\fR standard for more information.
