LIQUIDIO(4)		     Kernel Interfaces Manual		     LIQUIDIO(4)

NAME
     liquidio -- Cavium 10Gb/25Gb Ethernet driver

SYNOPSIS
     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your
     kernel configuration file:

	   device lio

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
     following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_lio_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The  liquidio driver provides support for 23XX 10Gb/25Gb Ethernet adapters.
     The driver supports Jumbo Frames, Transmit/Receive  checksum  offload,  TCP
     segmentation  offload  (TSO),  Large Receive Offload (LRO), VLAN tag inser-
     tion/extraction, VLAN checksum offload, VLAN TSO, and Receive Side Steering
     (RSS)

     Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface  MTU  setting.   Se-
     lecting  an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility config-
     ures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo  Frames.   The  maximum  MTU
     size for Jumbo Frames is 16000.

     For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

HARDWARE
     The liquidio driver supports the following cards:

     *	 LiquidIO II CN2350 210SV/225SV
     *	 LiquidIO II CN2360 210SV/225SV

LOADER TUNABLES
     Tunables  can  be	set at the loader(8) prompt before booting the kernel or
     stored in loader.conf(5).

     hw.lio.fw_type

	     String that specifies type of firmware to be  loaded.   Default  is
	     "nic". Use "none" to load firmware from flash.

     hw.lio.num_queues_per_pf0

	     Unsigned  integers  that  specify	number of queues per PF0.  Valid
	     range is 0 to 64.	Use 0 to derive autoconfigures based on the num-
	     ber of cpus with a max of 8

     hw.lio.num_queues_per_pf1

	     Unsigned integers that specify number of  queues  per  PF1.   Valid
	     range is 0 to 64.	Use 0 to derive autoconfigures based on the num-
	     ber of cpus with a max of 8

     hw.lio.console_bitmask

	     Bitmask  indicating  which consoles have debug output redirected to
	     syslog.

     hw.lio.rss

	     To enable/disable driver RSS support

     hw.lio.hwlro

	     To enable/disable hardware LRO
