16 bnxe \- QLogic NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Ethernet Device Driver
27 Ethernet driver is a multi-threaded, loadable,
28 clonable, GLDv3-based driver supporting the Data Link Provider Interface,
30 over QLogic NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Ethernet controllers. Multiple
31 NetXtreme II controllers installed within the system are supported by
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.
41 .SH DRIVER CONFIGURATION
43 The primary methods of configuration are via modification of the
44 .I /kernel/drv/bnxe.conf
45 file or execution of the
47 utility. There are many configuration items available and all are thoroughly
49 .I /kernel/drv/bnxe.conf
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
54 interfaces must be first unplumbed and then the
56 tool must be executed. For the configuration items that do not require a
59 tool can be used to dynamically change the option.
65 There are many statistics exposed via
76 for layer 2 chip stats,
79 for layer 2 driver stats,
82 for general layer 2 stats,
85 for detailed link status,
88 for GLDv3 MAC layer stats,
94 for Tx ring stats, and
97 for general driver stats and version info.
99 To get a list of all the individual statistics in these goups run:
