`devnp-bge.so`

Driver for Broadcom 57xx Tigon3 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet controllers

Syntax:

io-pkt-variant -d bge ... &

where variant is one of v4, v4-hc, or v6-hc.

Runs on:

Neutrino

Options:

None

Description:

The devnp-bge.so driver manages the Broadcom 57xx Tigon3 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet controllers. This is a ported NetBSD driver; its interface names are in the form bgeX, where X is an integer.

Some devices support hardware checksums, although some might do so in only one direction; to determine if your device does, type:

ifconfig bgeX

and look for the following in the list of supported options:

ip4csum, ip4csum-rx, ip4csum-tx
tcp4csum, tcp4csum-rx, tcp4csum-tx
tcp6csum, tcp6csum-rx, tcp6csum-tx
udp4csum, udp4csum-rx, udp4csum-tx
udp6csum, udp6csum-rx, udp6csum-tx

You can then use ifconfig to enable or disable whichever of these options your device supports.

Examples:

Start the v4 TCP/IP variant of io-pkt using the devnp-bge.so driver:

io-pkt-v4 -d bge
ifconfig bge0 10.184
