18 .LP
19 The \fBixgbe\fR 10 Gigabit Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
20 clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface,
21 \fBdlpi\fR(7P), on Intel 10-Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet controllers.
22 .sp
23 .LP
24 The \fBixgbe\fR driver functions include controller initialization, frame
25 transmit and receive, promiscuous and multicast support, and error recovery and
26 reporting.
27 .sp
28 .LP
29 The \fBixgbe\fR driver and hardware support auto-negotiation, a protocol
30 specified by the \fIIEEE 802.3ae\fR specification.
31 .SH APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
32 .sp
33 .LP
34 The cloning character-special device, \fB/dev/ixgbe\fR, is used to access all
35 Intel 10 -Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet devices installed within the system.
36 .sp
37 .LP
38 The \fBixgbe\fR driver is managed by the \fBdladm\fR(1M) command line utility,
39 which allows VLANs to be defined on top of \fBixgbe\fR instances and for
40 \fBixgbe\fR instances to be aggregated. See \fBdladm\fR(1M) for more details.
41 .sp
42 .LP
43 You must send an explicit DL_ATTACH_REQ message to associate the opened stream
44 with a particular device (PPA). The PPA ID is interpreted as an unsigned
45 integer data type and indicates the corresponding device instance (unit)
46 number. The driver returns an error (DL_ERROR_ACK) if the PPA field value does
47 not correspond to a valid device instance number for the system. The device is
48 initialized on first attach and de-initialized (stopped) at last detach.

52 your DL_INFO_REQ are:
