ixgbe
Intel® Ethernet Driver for the FreeBSD* operating system

device ixgbe

The ixgbe driver provides support for Intel(R) Ethernet devices based on the Intel 82598EB, 82599 and X540-based Intel(R) Network Connections. The driver supports TSO and Jumbo Frames.

For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation supplied with your adapter.

Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting. Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames. The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16114. This value coincides with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16136. This driver version supports VLANs. For information on enabling VLANs, see the README.

ixgbe%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: interrupt
A fatal initialization error has occurred.
ixgbe%d: watchdog timeout -- resetting
The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with the network connection (cable).

For additional information regarding building and installation, see the README included with the driver. For general information, go to the Intel support website at: http://www.intel.com/support/

If an issue is identified with the released source code on a supported kernel with a supported adapter, email the specific information related to the issue to freebsdnic@mailbox.intel.com
