BGE(4)
NAME
bge -- Broadcom BCM570x/5721/5750/5751 PCI Gigabit Ethernet =20
adapter
driver
SYNOPSIS
device miibus
device bge
DESCRIPTION
The bge driver provides support for various NICs based on the =20
Broadcom
BCM570x, 5721, 5750 and 5751 families of Gigabit Ethernet =20
controller
chips.
All of these NICs are capable of 10, 100 and 1000Mbps speeds over =20
CAT5
copper cable, except for the SysKonnect SK-9D41 which supports =20
only
1000Mbps over multimode fiber. The BCM570x builds upon the =20
technology of
the Alteon Tigon II. It has two R4000 CPU cores and is PCI v2.2 =20
and PCI-
X v1.0 compliant. It supports IP, TCP and UDP checksum offload =20
for both
receive and transmit, multiple RX and TX DMA rings for QoS =20
applications,
rules-based receive filtering, and VLAN tag stripping/insertion as =20
well
as a 256-bit multicast hash filter. Additional features may be =20
