.Dd January 31, 2003 .Dt BGE 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm bge .Nd Broadcom BCM570x family Gigabit Ethernet driver .Sh SYNOPSIS .Cd "bge* at pci? dev ? function ?"

p Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary. See .Xr mii 4 . .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm device driver supports Gigabit Ethernet interfaces based on the Broadcom BCM570x family of Gigabit Ethernet chips. The interfaces supported by the .Nm driver include: l -bullet t 3Com 3c996-T (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) t Dell PowerEdge 2550 integrated BCM5700 NIC (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) t IBM x235 server integrated BCM5703x NIC (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) t Netgear GA302T (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) t SysKonnect SK-9D21 (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T) t SysKonnect SK-9D41 (1000BASE-SX) .El

p The BCM570x family supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware. The .Nm driver supports this feature of the chip. See .Xr ifconfig 8 for information on how to enable this feature. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr arp 4 , .Xr bce 4 , .Xr ifmedia 4 , .Xr mii 4 , .Xr netintro 4 , .Xr pci 4 , .Xr ifconfig 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver first appeared in .Nx 1.6.1 . .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm driver was written by .An Bill Paul .Aq wpaul@windriver.com for .Fx and ported to .Nx by .An Frank van der Linden .Aq fvdl@wasabisystems.com , .An Jason R.
