+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ixgb
+.Nd Intel PRO/10GbE 10Gb Ethernet device
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "ixgb* at pci?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for PCI-X 10Gb Ethernet adapters based on the
+Intel 82597EX Ethernet controller chips.
+The driver supports IPv4 receive IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload, VLAN tag
+insertion and stripping, and jumbo frames.
+This includes the following models:
+.Pp
+.Bl -item -offset indent -compact
+.It
+Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server Adapter (PXLA8591CX4)
+.It
+Intel PRO/10GbE LR Server Adapter (PXLA8591LR)
+.It
+Intel PRO/10GbE SR Server Adapter (PXLA8591SR)
+.It
+Sun 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCI-X Adapter (X5544A-4)
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Bl -tag -width autoselect -offset indent
+.It autoselect
+Enables auto-negotiation for speed and duplex.
+.It 10GbaseLR
+Sets 10Gbps operation.
+Only full-duplex mode is supported at this speed.
+.It 10GbaseSR
+Sets 10Gbps operation.
+Only full-duplex mode is supported at this speed.
+.El
+.Pp

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+device driver first appeared in
+.Ox 3.9 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Intel Corporation .
+.Sh BUGS
+Under small packet UDP stress tests with 10GbE driver, the
+.Ox
+system will drop UDP packets due to the fullness of the socket buffers.
+You may want to change the driver's Flow Control variables to the minimum
+value for controlling packet reception.
+.Pp
+Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server
+adapter is connected to a Fujitsu XENPAK CX4 module in a SmartBits chassis
+using 15m/24AWG cable assemblies manufactured by Fujitsu or Leoni.
+The CRC errors may be received either by the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server
+adapter or the SmartBits.
+If this situation occurs, using a different cable assembly may resolve the
+issue.
+.Pp
+Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel PRO/10GbE CX4 Server
+adapter is connected to an HP Procurve 3400cl switch port using short cables
+(1m or shorter).
+If this situation occurs, using a longer cable may resolve the issue.
+.Pp
+Excessive CRC errors may be observed using Fujitsu 24AWG cable assemblies that
+are 10m or longer or where using a Leoni 15 m/24AWG cable assembly.
+The CRC errors may be received either by the CX4 Server adapter
+or at the switch.
+If this situation occurs, using a different cable assembly
+may resolve the issue.
