e1000g — Intel 1
Gigabit Client Ethernet Controller
The e1000g driver is a GLDv3 NIC driver
for Intel 1 Gigabit Ethernet devices which are often found as discrete PCI
and PCI express add-on-cards and built into many Intel chipsets and
platforms.
On most models, the device driver supports transmit and receive
checksumming, 9000 byte jumbo frames, large send offload (LSO), LED control
and Ethernet Pause frames.
For each device supported by the
e1000g driver, a character special-file will be
created for each instance. The first instance would have id 0 and would be
named e1000g0 and
found in the file system at /dev/net/e1000g0. This
device node supports the Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI) which is
documented in dlpi(4P).
libdlpi(3LIB) provides a more
usable interface on top of that.
For administrative control, the device can be manipulated through
the dladm(8) utility.

The igb(4D) driver supports
many other Intel Gigabit parts.
The e1000g.conf file contains some user
configurable parameters, the format of which is documented in
driver.conf(5). Generally, the
use of dladm(8) is recommended over
editing the configuration file.
