NAME

e1000g - Intel 1 Gigabit Client Ethernet Controller

SYNOPSIS

/dev/net/e1000g*

DESCRIPTION

The e1000g driver is a GLDv3 NIC driver for Intel 1 Gigabit Ethernet
devices which are often found as discrete PCI and PCI express add-on-
cards and built into many Intel chipsets and platforms.

On most models, the device driver supports transmit and receive
checksumming, 9000 byte jumbo frames, large send offload (LSO), LED
control and Ethernet Pause frames.

For each device supported by the e1000g driver, a character special-
file will be created for each instance. The first instance would have
id 0 and would be named e1000g0 and found in the file system at
/dev/net/e1000g0. This device node supports the Data Link Provider
Interface (DLPI) which is documented in dlpi(4P). libdlpi(3LIB)
provides a more usable interface on top of that.

For administrative control, the device can be manipulated through the
dladm(8) utility.

CONFIGURATION

The e1000g.conf file contains some user configurable parameters, the
format of which is documented in driver.conf(5). Generally, the use of
dladm(8) is recommended over editing the configuration file.
