38.Sh NAME
39.Nm lge
40.Nd Level 1 LXT1001 NetCellerator PCI 1Gb 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.
68.Pp
69The
70.Nm
71driver supports the following media types:
72.Bl -tag -width full-duplex
73.It Cm autoselect
74Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
75The user can manually override
76the autoselected mode by adding media options to the appropriate
77.Xr hostname.if 5
78file.
79.It Cm 1000baseSX
80Set 1000baseSX operation over fiber optic cable.
81Both
82.Cm full-duplex
83and
84.Cm half-duplex
85modes are supported.
86.El
87.Pp
88The
89.Nm
90driver supports the following media options:
91.Bl -tag -width full-duplex
92.It Cm full-duplex
93Force full duplex operation.
94.It Cm half-duplex
95Force half duplex operation.
96.El
97.Pp
98For more information on configuring this device, see
99.Xr ifconfig 8 .
100.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
101.Bl -diag
102.It "lge0: can't map i/o space"
103A fatal initialization error has occurred.
104.It "lge0: couldn't map interrupt"
105A fatal initialization error has occurred.
106.It "lge0: no memory for jumbo buffer queue!"
