  15 .SH NAME
  16 bnxe \- QLogic NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Ethernet Device Driver
  17 
  18 .SH SYNOPSIS

  23 .SH DESCRIPTION
  24 .LP
  25 The
  26 .B bnxe
  27 Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
  28 clonable, GLDv3-based driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface,
  29 .BR dlpi (7P),
  30 over QLogic NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Ethernet controllers.  Multiple
  31 NetXtreme II controllers installed within the system are supported by
  32 the driver.
  33 
  34 The
  35 .B bnxe
  36 driver provides support for the NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit line of devices.
  37 Functions include chip initialization, frame transmit and receive,
  38 multicast and promiscuous support, error recovery and reporting. These
  39 devices provide 10/100/1000/2500/10000 Mbps networking interfaces.
  40 
  41 .SH DRIVER CONFIGURATION
  42 
  43 The primary methods of configuration are via modification of the
  44 .I /kernel/drv/bnxe.conf
  45 file or execution of the
  46 .BR dladm (1M)
  47 utility. There are many configuration items available and all are thoroughly
  48 documented in the
  49 .I /kernel/drv/bnxe.conf
  50 file. Note that for
  51 changes to this file to take affect the driver must be reloaded or the system
  52 rebooted. In order to reload the driver with new configuration changes all
  53 .B bnxe
  54 interfaces must be first unplumbed and then the
  55 .BR update_drv (1M)
  56 tool must be executed. For the configuration items that do not require a
  57 driver reload the
  58 .BR dladm (1M)
  59 tool can be used to dynamically change the option.

  61 .SH DEBUGGING

  63 .SS kstat
  64 
  65 There are many statistics exposed via
  66 .B kstat
  67 by
  68 .BR bnxe .
  69 
  70 The main groups are:
  71 .TP
  72 "intr"
  73 for interrupts stats
  74 .TP
  75 "l2chip"
  76 for layer 2 chip stats,
  77 .TP
  78 "l2driver"
  79 for layer 2 driver stats,
  80 .TP
  81 "l2stats"
  82 for general layer 2 stats,
  83 .TP
  84 "link"
  85 for detailed link status,
  86 .TP
  87 "mac"
  88 for GLDv3 MAC layer stats,
  89 .TP
  90 "rxq#"
  91 for Rx ring stats,
  92 .TP
  93 "txq#"
  94 for Tx ring stats, and
  95 .TP
  96 "stats"
  97 for general driver stats and version info.
