The driver supports Jumbo Frames, TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO). .Pp For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel 10GbE adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use with .Nx . .Pp Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting. Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the .Xr ifconfig 8 utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames. On .Nx , the maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 9000 bytes. .Pp This driver version supports VLANs. For information on enabling VLANs, see .Xr ifconfig 8 . .Sh DIAGNOSTICS .Bl -diag .It "ixg%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: memory" A fatal initialization error has occurred. .It "ixg%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: interrupt" A fatal initialization error has occurred. .It "ixg%d: watchdog timeout -- resetting" The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with the network connection (cable). .El .Sh SUPPORT For general information and support, go to the Intel support website at: .Lk http://www.intel.com/support/ . .\" .Pp .\" If an issue is identified with the released source code on the supported kernel .\" with a supported adapter, email the specific information related to the .\" issue to .\" .Aq freebsdnic@mailbox.intel.com . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr arp 4 , .Xr ixv 4 , .Xr netintro 4 , .Xr vlan 4 , .Xr ifconfig 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm device driver comes from .Fx , where it is called .Nm ixgbe . It first appeared in .Nx 6.0 . .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm driver was written by .An Intel Corporation Aq Mt freebsdnic@mailbox.intel.com . It was imported from .Fx into .Nx by .An David Young Aq Mt dyoung@NetBSD.org . .Sh BUGS The hardware supports a maximum MTU of 16114 bytes, but the .Nx port of the driver supports only 9000 bytes.
