EM(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual EM(4) NAME em -- Intel(R) PRO/1000 gigabit Ethernet driver for the FreeBSD operat- ing system SYNOPSIS device em DESCRIPTION The em driver provides support for PCI gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Intel 82540, 82542, 82543, 82544 and 82546 Ethernet controller chips. The driver supports Transmit/Receive checksum offload and Jumbo Frames only on 82540, 82543, 82544 and 82546-based adapters. For a list of supported adapters, see the README included with the driver. For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documenta- tion supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter. All hardware require- ments listed apply to use with FreeBSD. Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting. Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames. The maxi- mum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16114. This driver version supports VLANs. For information on enabling VLANs, see the README. The em driver supports the following media types: autoselect Enables auto-negotiation for speed and duplex. 10baseT/UTP Sets 10Mbps operation. Use the mediaopt option to select full-duplex mode. 100baseTX Sets 100Mbps operation. Use the mediaopt option to select full-duplex mode. 1000baseSX Sets 1000Mbps operation. Only full-duplex mode is sup- ported at this speed. 1000baseTX Sets 1000Mbps operation. Only full-duplex mode is sup- ported at this speed. The em driver supports the following media options: full-duplex Forces full-duplex operation half-duplex Forces half-duplex operation. Only use mediaopt to set the driver to full-duplex. If mediaopt is not specified, the driver defaults to half-duplex. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). DIAGNOSTICS em%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: memory A fatal initialization error has occurred. em%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: interrupt A fatal initializa- tion error has occurred. em%d: watchdog timeout -- resetting The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with the network connection (ca- ble). SUPPORT For additional information regarding building and installation, see the README included with the driver.
