40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.Cd "device ixgb"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45driver provides support for PCI gigabit Ethernet adapters based on
46the Intel 82597EX Ethernet controller chips.
47The driver supports Transmit/Receive checksum offload
48and Jumbo Frames.
49For a list of supported adapters, see the
50.Pa README
51included with the driver.
52.Pp
53For questions related to hardware requirements,
54refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel PRO/10GbE adapter.
55All hardware requirements listed apply to use with
56.Fx .
57.Pp
58Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting.
59Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the
60.Xr ifconfig 8
61utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames.
62The maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16114.
63.Pp
64This driver version supports VLANs.
65For information on enabling VLANs, see the
66.Pa README .
