CXGB(4) 		     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,
     TCP segmentation offload (TSO), Large Receive Offload (LRO), VLAN	hardware
     insertion	/  extraction,	and VLAN checksum offload.  For further hardware
     information, see http://www.chelsio.com/.

     For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the  documentation
     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 config-
     ures 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 and 1 Gigabit Ethernet adapters based
     on the T3 and T3B chipset:

     *	 Chelsio 10GBase-CX4
     *	 Chelsio 10GBase-LR
     *	 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 er-
     ror has occurred.

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

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

SUPPORT
     For general information and support, go to the Chelsio support website  at:
