47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50device driver supports Gigabit Ethernet interfaces based on the Intel
51i8254x family of Gigabit Ethernet chips.
52The interfaces supported by the
53.Nm

114In addition to Intel's own
115.Dq PRO/1000
116line of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, these chips also appear on
117some server systems, processor evaluation boards, and in embedded
118systems.
119.Pp
120The i8254x supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming and TCP segmentation
121in hardware.
122The
123.Nm
124driver supports these features of the chip.
125See
126.Xr ifconfig 8
127for information on how to enable this feature.
