NAME
lge – Level 1 LXT1001 NetCellerator PCI 1Gb Ethernet device
SYNOPSIS
lge* at pci? xmphy* at mii?
DESCRIPTION
The lge driver provides support for various NICs based on the Level 1 LXT1001 NetCellerator Gigabit Ethernet controller chip, including the following:
-
Allied Telesis CentreCOM LA1000-PCI-SX
-
D-Link DGE-500SX
-
SMC TigerCard 1000 (SMC9462SX)
These NICs are capable of 1000Mbps speeds over fiber optic cable. The LXT1001 also supports a GMII port for use with 10/100/1000 copper PHYs, however there aren't currently any NICs on the market that use this feature.
The LXT1001 supports IPv4 receive IP/TCP/UDP checksum offload as well as a 64-bit multicast hash filter. It also supports jumbo frames.
The lge driver supports the following media types:
- autoselect
-
Enable autoselection of the media type and options. The user can manually override the autoselected mode by adding media options to the appropriate hostname.if(5) file.
- 1000baseSX
-
Set 1000baseSX operation over fiber optic cable. Both full-duplex and half-duplex modes are supported.
The lge driver supports the following media options:
- full-duplex
-
Force full duplex operation.
- half-duplex
-
Force half duplex operation.
For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
