  38   65  The \fBixgbe\fR driver is managed by the \fBdladm\fR(1M) command line utility,
  39   66  which allows VLANs to be defined on top of \fBixgbe\fR instances and for
  40   67  \fBixgbe\fR instances to be aggregated. See \fBdladm\fR(1M) for more details.

  43   70  You must send an explicit DL_ATTACH_REQ message to associate the opened stream
  44   71  with a particular device (PPA). The PPA ID is interpreted as an unsigned
  45   72  integer data type and indicates the corresponding device instance (unit)
