+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ixgb
+.Nd "Intel(R) PRO/10GbE Ethernet driver"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "ixgb* at pci?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for PCI-X 10Gb Ethernet adapters based on the
+Intel 82597EX Ethernet controller chips.
+The driver supports IPv4 receive IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload and
+Jumbo frames.
+This includes the following models:
+.Pp
+.Bl -item -offset indent -compact
+.It
+Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Adapter
+.It
+Intel PRO/10GbE LR Adapter
+.It
+Intel PRO/10GbE SR Adapter
+.It
+Sun 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X Adapter
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Bl -tag -width autoselect -offset indent
+.It autoselect
+Enables auto-negotiation for speed and duplex.
+.It 1000baseSX
+Sets 1000Mbps operation.
+Only full-duplex mode is supported at this speed.
+.It 1000baseT
+Sets 1000Mbps operation.
+Only full-duplex mode is supported at this speed.
+.El
+.Pp
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "ixgb%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: memory"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "ixgb%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: interrupt"
+A fatal initialization error has occurred.
+.It "ixgb%d: watchdog timeout -- resetting"
+The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with
+the network connection (cable).
+.El
+.Sh SUPPORT

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+device driver first appeared in
+.Ox 3.9 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Intel Corporation Aq freebsdnic@mailbox.intel.com .
+.Sh BUGS
+Under small packet UDP stress tests with 10GbE driver, the
+.Ox
+system will drop UDP packets due to the fullness of the socket buffers.
+You many want to change the driver's Flow Control variables to the minimum
+value for controlling packet reception.
+.Pp
+Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server
+adapter is connected to a Fujitsu XENPAK CX4 module in a SmartBits chassis
+using 15 m/24AWG cable assemblies manufactured by Fujitsu or Leoni.
+The CRC errors may be received either by the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server
+adapter or the SmartBits.
+If this situation occurs using a different cable assembly may resolve the
+issue.
+.Pp
+Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server
+adapter is connected to an HP Procurve 3400cl switch port using short cables
+(1 m or shorter).
+If this situation occurs, using a longer cable may resolve the issue.
+.Pp
+Excessive CRC errors may be observed using Fujitsu 24AWG cable assemblies that
+Are 10 m or longer or where using a Leoni 15 m/24AWG cable assembly.
+The CRC errors may be received either by the CX4 Server adapter or at the switch.
+If this situation occurs, using a different cable assembly may resolve the issue.
