39 .Nd "Intel(R) 10Gb Ethernet driver"
41 To compile this driver into the kernel,
42 place the following line in your
43 kernel configuration file:
44 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
48 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
49 module at boot time, place the following line in
51 .Bd -literal -offset indent
57 driver provides support for PCI 10Gb Ethernet adapters based on
62 Intel(R) Network Connections.
63 The driver supports Jumbo Frames, MSIX, TSO, and RSS.
65 For questions related to hardware requirements,
66 refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel 10GbE adapter.
67 All hardware requirements listed apply to use with
70 Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting.
71 Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
73 utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.
74 The maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16114.
76 This driver version supports VLANs.
77 For information on enabling VLANs, see
