22 .Sh DESCRIPTION
23 The
24 .Nm
25 driver provides support for 10 and 40 Gbps Ethernet adapters
26 based on the Solarflare SFC9000 family of controllers.
27 .Lp
28 These devices generally support the standard Ethernet features, including
29 autonegotiation, etc. They also support full size MTUs (1500 bytes),
30 even when used with VLANs, and hardware based flow control.
31 .Lp
32 The device driver supports the
33 .Xr ieee802.3 5
34 properties, which can be configured with
35 .Xr dladm 1M .
