ixg
driver provides support for PCI 10Gb Ethernet
adapters based on the Intel(R) 82598EB, 82599, X540 and X550 Ethernet
Controllers. The driver supports Jumbo Frames, TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO).
For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel 10GbE adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use with NetBSD.
Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting. Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames. On NetBSD, the maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 9000 bytes.
This driver version supports VLANs. For information on enabling VLANs, see ifconfig(8).
