-.SH NAME
-igb \- Intel 82575 1Gb PCI Express NIC Driver
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.LP
-.nf
-\fB/dev/igb*\fR
-.fi
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.sp
-.LP
-The \fBigb\fR Gigabit Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
-clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface,
-\fBdlpi\fR(7P), on Intel 82575 Gigabit Ethernet controllers.
-.sp
-.LP
-The \fBigb\fR driver functions include controller initialization, frame
-transmit and receive, promiscuous and multicast support, and error recovery and
-reporting.
-.sp
-.LP
-The \fBigb\fR driver and hardware support auto-negotiation, a protocol
-specified by the 1000 Base-T standard. Auto-negotiation allows each device
-to advertise its capabilities and discover those of its peer (link partner).
-The highest common denominator supported by both link partners is
-automatically selected, yielding the greatest available throughput, while
-requiring no manual configuration. The \fBigb\fR driver also allows you to
-configure the advertised capabilities to less than the maximum (where the full
-speed of the interface is not required), or to force a specific mode of
-operation, irrespective of the link partner's advertised capabilities.
-.SH APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
-.sp
-.LP
-The cloning character-special device, \fB /dev/igb\fR, is used to access all
-Intel 82575 Gigabit devices installed within the system.
-.sp
-.LP
-The igb driver is managed by the \fBdladm\fR(1M) command line utility, which
-allows VLANs to be defined on top of \fBigb\fR instances and for \fBigb\fR
-instances to be aggregated. See \fBdladm\fR(1M) for more details.
-.sp
-.LP
-You must send an explicit DL_ATTACH_REQ message to associate the opened stream
-with a particular device (PPA). The PPA ID is interpreted as an unsigned
-integer data type and indicates the corresponding device instance (unit)
-number. The driver returns an error (DL_ERROR_ACK) if the PPA field value does
-not correspond to a valid device instance number for the system. The device is
-initialized on first attach and de-initialized (stopped) at last detach.
-.sp
-.LP
-The values returned by the driver in the DL_INFO_ACK primitive in response to
-your DL_INFO_REQ are:
-.RS +4
-.TP
-.ie t \(bu
-.el o
-Maximum SDU is 9000.
-.RE
-.RS +4
-.TP
-.ie t \(bu
-.el o
-Minimum SDU is 0.
-.RE
-.RS +4
-.TP
-.ie t \(bu
-.el o
-DLSAP address length is 8.
-.RE
-.RS +4
-.TP
-.ie t \(bu
-.el o
-MAC type is DL_ETHER.
-.RE
-.RS +4
-.TP
-.ie t \(bu
-.el o
-SAP (Service Access Point) length value is -2, meaning the physical address
-component is followed immediately by a 2-byte SAP component within the DLSAP
-address.
-.RE
-.RS +4
-.TP
-.ie t \(bu
-.el o
-Broadcast address value is the Ethernet/IEEE broadcast address
-(FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF).
-.sp
-Once in the DL_ATTACHED state, you must send a DL_BIND_REQ to associate a
-particular SAP with the stream.
-.RE
-.SH CONFIGURATION
-.sp
-.LP
-By default, the igb driver performs auto-negotiation to select the link speed
-and mode. Link speed and mode can be any one of the following, (as described
-in the \fIIEEE803.2\fR standard):
-.sp
-.LP
-1000 Mbps, full-duplex.
-.sp
-.LP
-100 Mbps, full-duplex.
-.sp
-.LP
-100 Mbps, half-duplex.
-.sp
-.LP
-10 Mbps, full-duplex.
-.sp
-.LP
-10 Mbps, half-duplex.
-.sp
-.LP
-The auto-negotiation protocol automatically selects speed (1000 Mbps, 100 Mbps,
-or 10 Mbps) and operation mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) as the highest
-common denominator supported by both link partners.
-.sp
-.LP
-Alternatively, you can set the capabilities advertised by the \fBigb\fR device
-using \fBndd\fR(1M). The driver supports a number of parameters whose names
-begin with \fIadv_\fR (see below). Each of these parameters contains a boolean
-value that determines if the device advertises that mode of operation. For
-example, the \fIadv_1000fdx_cap\fR parameter indicates if 1000M full duplex is
-advertised to link partner. The \fIadv_autoneg\fR cap parameter controls
-whether auto-negotiation is performed. If \fIadv_autoneg_cap\fR is set to 0,
-the driver forces the mode of operation selected by the first non-zero
-parameter in priority order as shown below:
-.sp
-.in +2
-.nf
- (highest priority/greatest throughput)
- adv_1000fdx_cap 1000Mbps full duplex
- adv_100fdx_cap 100Mbps full duplex
- adv_100hdx_cap 100Mbps half duplex
- adv_10fdx_cap 10Mbps full duplex
- adv_10hdx_cap 10Mbps half duplex
- (lowest priority/least throughput)
-.fi
-.in -2
-
-.sp
-.LP
-All capabilities default to enabled. Note that changing any capability
-parameter causes the link to go down while the link partners renegotiate the
-link speed/duplex using the newly changed capabilities.

+Many other Intel 1 GbE devices are supported by the
+.Xr e1000g 7D
+driver.
+.Pp
+The driver supports the following functionality depending on the
+controller generation:
+.Bl -dash

+Jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes.
+.It
+Checksum offload for TCP and UDP on IPv4 and IPv6.
+Checksum offload for IPv4 headers.
+.It
+TCP Segmentation Offload

+and multiple MAC address filters.
+.It
+Promiscuous access via
+.Xr snoop 1M
+and
+.Xr dlpi 7P .
+.It
+LED control.
+.It
+Link auto-negotiation, manual link controls, and IEEE 802.3x flow
+control.
+.El
+.Sh APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
+For each supported device instance, which corresponds to a port, a
+character-special file is created.
+This device can be used with the Data Link Provider Interface
+.Pq DLPI
+through either
+.Xr libdlpi 3LIB
+or
+.Xr dlpi 7P .
+.Pp
+Each instance is assigned a unique ascending integer identifier starting
+from zero.
+The first instance in the system would be enumerated with the id 0 and
+be named
+.Sy igb0
+and be found in the file system at
+.Pa /dev/net/igb0 .
+.Sh CONFIGURATION
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports operating at 1 Gbps full-duplex, 100 Mbps full and
+half-duplex, and 10 Mbps full and half-duplex.
+By default, the device will use auto-negotiation and prefer the highest
+compatible speed.
+The advertised speeds and broader configuration can be observed and
+modified with
+.Xr dladm 1M .
+While
+.Xr driver.conf 4
+based configuration is possible, it is recommended that
+.Xr dladm 1M
+is used wherever possible.
