NAME
     ixgbe -- IntelA(R) Ethernet Driver for the FreeBSD* operating system

SYNOPSIS
     device ixgbe

DESCRIPTION
     The  ixgbe  driver  provides support for Intel(R) Ethernet devices based on
     the Intel 82598EB, 82599 and X540-based Intel(R) Network Connections.   The
     driver supports TSO and Jumbo Frames.

     For  questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation
     supplied with your adapter.

     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
     setting  for  Jumbo  Frames is 16114. This value coincides with the maximum
     Jumbo Frames size of 16136.  This driver version supports VLANs.	For  in-
     formation on enabling VLANs, see the README.
