38.Sh NAME
39.Nm lge
40.Nd Level 1 LXT1001 NetCellerator PCI Gigabit Ethernet device
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Cd "lge* at pci?"
43.Cd "xmphy* at mii?"
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Nm
47driver provides support for various NICs based on the Level 1 LXT1001
48NetCellerator Gigabit Ethernet controller chip, including the
49following:
50.Pp
51.Bl -bullet -compact
52.It
53Allied Telesis CentreCOM LA1000-PCI-SX
54.It
55D-Link DGE-500SX
56.It
57SMC TigerCard 1000 (SMC9462SX)
58.El
59.Pp
60These NICs are capable of 1000Mbps speeds over fiber optic cable.
61The LXT1001 also supports a GMII port for use with 10/100/1000 copper
62PHYs, however there aren't currently any NICs on the market that use
63this feature.
64.Pp
65The LXT1001 supports IPv4 receive IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload
66as well as a 64-bit multicast hash filter.
67It also supports Jumbo frames, which can be configured
68via the interface MTU setting.
69Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
70.Xr ifconfig 8
71utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo frames.
72.Pp
73The
74.Nm
75driver supports the following media types:
76.Bl -tag -width full-duplex
77.It Cm autoselect
78Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
79The user can manually override
80the autoselected mode by adding media options to the appropriate
81.Xr hostname.if 5
82file.
83.It Cm 1000baseSX
84Set 1000baseSX operation over fiber optic cable.
85Both
86.Cm full-duplex
87and
88.Cm half-duplex
89modes are supported.
90.El
91.Pp
92The
93.Nm
94driver supports the following media options:
95.Bl -tag -width full-duplex
96.It Cm full-duplex
97Force full duplex operation.
98.It Cm half-duplex
99Force half duplex operation.
100.El
101.Pp
102For more information on configuring this device, see
103.Xr ifconfig 8 .
104.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
105.Bl -diag
106.It "lge0: can't map i/o space"
107A fatal initialization error has occurred.
108.It "lge0: couldn't map interrupt"
109A fatal initialization error has occurred.
110.It "lge0: no memory for jumbo buffer queue!"
111The driver failed to allocate memory for jumbo frames during
112initialization.
113.It "lge0: watchdog timeout"
114The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
115the network connection (cable).
