  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.
