.Sh NAME
.Nm nge
.Nd National Semiconductor PCI 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet device
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "nge* at pci?"
.Cd "nsgphy* at mii?"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for various NICs based on the National Semiconductor
DP83820 and DP83821 Gigabit Ethernet controller chips, including the
following:
.Pp
.Bl -bullet -compact
.It
Addtron AEG320T
.It
Ark PC SOHO-GA2500T (32-bit PCI) and SOHO-GA2000T (64-bit PCI)
.It
Asante FriendlyNet GigaNIX 1000TA and 1000TPC
.It
D-Link DGE-500T
.It
Linksys EG1032v1 (32-bit PCI) and EG1064v1 (64-bit PCI)
.It
Netgear GA621
.It
Netgear GA622T
.It
SMC EZ Card 1000 (SMC9462TX)
.It
Surecom Technology EP-320G-TX
.It
TRENDnet TEG-PCITX (32-bit PCI) and TEG-PCITX2 (64-bit PCI)
.El
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver supports IPv4 receive IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload, VLAN tag
insertion and stripping, as well as a 2048-bit multicast hash filter
and up to 4 pattern match buffers.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver also supports Jumbo frames, which can be configured via the
interface MTU setting.
Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
.Xr ifconfig 8
utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo frames.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver supports the following media types:
.Bl -tag -width full-duplex
.It Cm autoselect
Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
The user can manually override
the autoselected mode by adding media options to the appropriate
.Xr hostname.if 5
file.
.It Cm 10baseT
Set 10Mbps operation.
The
.Xr ifconfig 8
.Ic mediaopt
option can also be used to select either
.Cm full-duplex
or
.Cm half-duplex
modes.
.It Cm 100baseTX
Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
The
.Xr ifconfig 8
.Ic mediaopt
option can also be used to select either
.Cm full-duplex
or
.Cm half-duplex
modes.
.It Cm 1000baseT
Set 1000baseT operation over twisted pair.
Both
.Cm full-duplex
and
.Cm half-duplex
modes are supported.
.It Cm 1000baseSX
Set 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) operation.
Both
.Cm full-duplex
and
.Cm half-duplex
modes are supported.
.El
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver supports the following media options:
.Bl -tag -width full-duplex
.It Cm full-duplex
Force full duplex operation.
.It Cm half-duplex
Force half duplex operation.
.El
.Pp
