NAME
em
- Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following line in your
kernel configuration file:
device em
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
loader.conf5:
if_em_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The
driver provides support for PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on
the Intel 82540, 82541ER, 82541PI, 82542, 82543, 82544, 82545, 82546,
82546EB, 82546GB, 82547, 82571, 81572, 82573, and 82574 Ethernet
controller chips.
The driver supports Transmit/Receive checksum offload
and Jumbo Frames on all but 82542-based adapters.
Furthermore it supports TCP segmentation offload (TSO) on all adapters but
those based on the 82543, 82544 and 82547 controller chips.
For further hardware information, see the
README
included with the driver.
For questions related to hardware requirements,
refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter.
All hardware requirements listed apply to use with
Fx .
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 size for Jumbo Frames is 16114.
This driver version supports VLANs.
The
driver supports the following media types:
autoselect
Enables auto-negotiation for speed and duplex.
10baseT/UTP
Sets 10Mbps operation.
Use the
mediaopt
option to select
full-duplex
mode.
100baseTX
Sets 100Mbps operation.
Use the
mediaopt
option to select
full-duplex
mode.
1000baseSX
Sets 1000Mbps operation.
Only
full-duplex
mode is supported at this speed.
1000baseTX
Sets 1000Mbps operation.
Only
full-duplex
mode is supported at this speed.
The
driver supports the following media options:
full-duplex
Forces full-duplex operation
half-duplex
Forces half-duplex operation.
Only use
mediaopt
to set the driver to
full-duplex
If
mediaopt
is not specified, the driver defaults to
half-duplex
For more information on configuring this device, see
ifconfig(8).

LOADER TUNABLES
Tunables can be set at the
loader(8)
prompt before booting the kernel or stored in
loader.conf5.
hw.em.rxd
Number of receive descriptors allocated by the driver.
The default value is 256.
The 82542 and 82543-based adapters can handle up to 256 descriptors,
while others can have up to 4096.
hw.em.txd
Number of transmit descriptors allocated by the driver.
The default value is 256.
The 82542 and 82543-based adapters can handle up to 256 descriptors,
while others can have up to 4096.
hw.em.rx_int_delay
This value delays the generation of receive interrupts in units of
1.024 microseconds.
The default value is 0, since adapters may hang with this feature
being enabled.
hw.em.rx_abs_int_delay
If
hw.em.rx_int_delay
is non-zero, this tunable limits the maximum delay in which a receive
interrupt is generated.
hw.em.tx_int_delay
This value delays the generation of transmit interrupts in units of
1.024 microseconds.
The default value is 64.
hw.em.tx_abs_int_delay
If
hw.em.tx_int_delay
is non-zero, this tunable limits the maximum delay in which a transmit
interrupt is generated.
DIAGNOSTICS
"em%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: memory"
A fatal initialization error has occurred.
"em%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: interrupt"
A fatal initialization error has occurred.
"em%d: watchdog timeout -- resetting"
The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
the network connection (cable).
