18 -.LP
19 17 The \fBixgbe\fR 10 Gigabit Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
20 18 clonable, GLD-based STREAMS driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface,
21 19 \fBdlpi\fR(7P), on Intel 10-Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet controllers.
22 20 .sp
23 21 .LP
24 22 The \fBixgbe\fR driver functions include controller initialization, frame
25 23 transmit and receive, promiscuous and multicast support, and error recovery and
26 24 reporting.

57 55 .SH APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
58 -.LP
59 56 The cloning character-special device, \fB/dev/ixgbe\fR, is used to access all
60 57 Intel 10-Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet devices installed within the system.
61 58 .sp
62 59 .LP
63 60 The \fBixgbe\fR driver is managed by the \fBdladm\fR(1M) command line utility,
64 61 which allows VLANs to be defined on top of \fBixgbe\fR instances and for
65 62 \fBixgbe\fR instances to be aggregated. See \fBdladm\fR(1M) for more details.
66 63 .sp
67 64 .LP
68 65 You must send an explicit DL_ATTACH_REQ message to associate the opened stream
69 66 with a particular device (PPA). The PPA ID is interpreted as an unsigned
70 67 integer data type and indicates the corresponding device instance (unit)
71 68 number. The driver returns an error (DL_ERROR_ACK) if the PPA field value does
72 69 not correspond to a valid device instance number for the system. The device is
73 70 initialized on first attach and de-initialized (stopped) at last detach.
74 71 .sp
75 72 .LP
76 73 The values returned by the driver in the DL_INFO_ACK primitive in response to
77 74 your DL_INFO_REQ are:

127 -.LP
128 124 By default, the \fBixgbe\fR driver performs auto-negotiation to select the link
129 125 speed and mode. Link speed and mode can only be 10000 Mbps full-duplex for fiber, and only 10000, 1000, or 100 Mbps full-duplex for copper. See the
130 126 \fIIEEE802.3\fR standard for more information.
