   3 NAME
   4      sfxge -- Solarflare Ethernet device driver
   5 
   6 SYNOPSIS
   7      /dev/sfxge
   8 
   9 DESCRIPTION
  10      The sfxge driver provides support for 10 and 40 Gbps Ethernet adapters
  11      based on the Solarflare SFC9000 family of controllers.
  12 
  13      These devices generally support the standard Ethernet features, including
  14      autonegotiation, etc.  They also support full size MTUs (1500 bytes),
  15      even when used with VLANs, and hardware based flow control.
  16 
  17      The device driver supports the ieee802.3(5) properties, which can be
  18      configured with dladm(1M).

  28 BUGS
  29      The hardware has support for multiple hardware rings, providing for
  30      receive side scaling (RSS) and improved virtualization.  This driver
  31      currently lacks support for exposing this functionality to the operating
  32      system.
