CXGB(4)			 BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual		       CXGB(4)

NAME
     cxgb -- Chelsio T3	10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver

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

	   device firmware
	   device cxgb

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

	   if_cxgb_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The cxgb driver supports Transmit/Receive checksum	offload, Jumbo Frames
     as	well as	TCP segmentation offload (TSO).	 For further hardware informa-
     tion, see http://www.chelsio.com/.

     For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documenta-
     tion supplied with	your Chelsio T3	adapter.  All hardware requirements
     listed apply to use with FreeBSD.

     Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU	setting.  Se-
     lecting an	MTU larger than	1500 bytes with	the ifconfig(8)	utility	con-
     figures the adapter to receive and	transmit Jumbo Frames.	The maximum
     MTU size for Jumbo	Frames is 9000.

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

HARDWARE
     The cxgb driver supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the	T3 and
     T3B chipset:

     o	 Chelsio 10GBase-CX4
     o	 Chelsio 10GBase-LR
     o	 Chelsio 10GBase-SR

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

DIAGNOSTICS
     cxgb%d: Unable to allocate	bus resource: memory  A	fatal initialization
     error has occurred.

     cxgb%d: Unable to allocate	bus resource: interrupt	 A fatal initializa-
     tion error	has occurred.

     cxgb%d: Could not find firmware image %s  The appropriate firmware	kld
     module was	not installed.	This is	a fatal	initialization error.

SUPPORT
     For general information and support, go to	the Chelsio support website
     at: http://www.chelsio.com/.

     If	an issue is identified with the	released source	code on	the supported
     kernel with a supported adapter, email the	specific information related
     to	the issue to <help@chelsio.com>.
