39.Sh NAME
40.Nm wm
41.Nd Intel i8254x Gigabit Ethernet driver
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.Cd "wm* at pci? dev ? function ?"
44.Pp
45Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary.  See
46.Xr mii 4 .
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50device driver supports Gigabit Ethernet interfaces based on the Intel
51i8254x family of Gigabit Ethernet chips.  The interfaces supported by
52the
53.Nm
54driver include:
55.Bl -bullet

61Intel i82543GC 1000BASE-T Ethernet
62.It
63Intel i82544EI 1000BASE-T Ethernet
64.It
65Intel i82544EI 1000BASE-X Ethernet
66.It
67Intel i82544GC 1000BASE-T Ethernet
68.It
69Intel i82544GC (LOM) 1000BASE-T Ethernet
70.It
71Intel i82540EM 1000BASE-T Ethernet
72.It
73Intel i82545EM 1000BASE-T Ethernet
74.It
75Intel i82546EB 1000BASE-T Ethernet
76.Pq dual-port
77.It
78Intel i82545EM 1000BASE-X Ethernet
79.It
80Intel i82546EB 1000BASE-X Ethernet
81.Pq dual-port
82.It
83Intel i82540EM (LOM) 1000BASE-T Ethernet
84.El
85.Pp
86In addition to Intel's own
87.Dq PRO/1000
88line of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, these chips also appear on
89some server systems, processor evaluation boards, and in embedded
90systems.
91.Pp
92The i8254x supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware.  The
93.Nm
94driver supports this feature of the chip.  See
95.Xr ifconfig 8
96for information on how to enable this feature.
97.\" .Sh DIAGNOSTICS
