37 .Nd Broadcom NetXtreme II 10/100/1000 Ethernet device
44 driver supports Broadcom's NetXtreme II product family, such as the
45 BCM5706 PCI-X and BCM5708 PCI Express Ethernet controllers, which
46 includes the following:
50 Dell PowerEdge 1950 integrated BCM5708 NIC (10/100/1000baseT)
52 Dell PowerEdge 2950 integrated BCM5708 NIC (10/100/1000baseT)
54 HP NC370F PCI-X Multifunction Gigabit server adapter (1000baseSX)
56 HP NC370T PCI-X Multifunction Gigabit server adapter (10/100/1000baseT)
58 HP NC373F PCI Express Multifunction Gigabit server adapter (1000baseSX)
60 HP NC373i PCI Express Multifunction Gigabit embedded server adapter (10/100/1000baseT)
62 HP NC380T PCI Express Dual Port Multifunction Gigabit server adapter (10/100/1000baseT)
64 IBM xSeries 3550 integrated BCM5708 NIC (10/100/1000baseT)
66 IBM xSeries 3650 integrated BCM5708 NIC (10/100/1000baseT)
69 The NetXtreme II product family is composed of various Converged NIC (or CNIC)
70 Ethernet controllers which support a TCP Offload Engine (TOE),
71 Remote DMA (RDMA), and iSCSI acceleration,
72 in addition to standard L2 Ethernet traffic,
73 all on the same controller.
74 The following features are supported in the
78 .Bd -literal -offset indent
79 IPv4 receive IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload
80 Jumbo frames (up to 9022 bytes)
83 10/100/1000Mbps operation in full-duplex mode
84 10/100Mbps operation in half-duplex mode
89 driver supports the following media types:
90 .Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
92 Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
93 The user can manually override
94 the autoselected mode via
101 option can also be used to select either
107 Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
111 option can also be used to select either
117 Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair.
125 driver supports the following media options:
126 .Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex"
128 Force full duplex operation.
130 Force half duplex operation.
