XGE(4)

NAME
xge - Neterion Xframe-I Ten Gigabit Ethernet driver

SYNOPSIS
xge* at pci? dev ? function ?

DESCRIPTION
The xge device driver supports the Neterion Xframe-I LR Ethernet adapter, which uses a single mode fiber (1310nm) interface.

The Xframe supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware, as well as TCP Segmentation Offloading (TSO) and hardvare VLAN handling. The driver currently does not support the hardware VLAN feature. See ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable TSO and hardware checksum calculation.

DIAGNOSTICS

xge%s: failed configuring endian, %llx != %llx! The Xframe could not be turned into the correct endian operation. This is most likely a hardware error.

xge%d: failed allocating txmem.

xge%d: failed allocating rxmem. The computer has run out of kernel memory.

xge%d: adapter not quiescent, aborting

xge%d: ADAPTER_STATUS missing bits %s The Xframe could not be turned into a usable state. Most likely an Xframe hardware error.

xge%d: cannot create TX DMA maps

xge%d: cannot create RX DMA maps This error is either a kernel error or that the kernel has run out of available memory.

xge%d: bad compiler struct alignment, %d != %d The compiler did not align the structure correctly. This is a compiler problem.

HISTORY
The xge driver first appeared in NetBSD 3.0.

AUTHORS
The xge driver was written by Anders Magnusson <ragge@ludd.luth.se>.

BUGS
There should be an XGMII framework for the driver to use.
