DIAGNOSTICS
em%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: memory A fatal initialization
error has occurred.
em%d: Unable to allocate bus resource: interrupt A fatal initialization
error has occurred.
em%d: watchdog timeout -- resetting The device has stopped responding to
the network, or there is a problem with the network connection (cable).
SUPPORT
For additional information regarding building and installation, see the
README included with the driver. For general information and support, go
to the Intel support website at: http://support.intel.com.
If an issue is identified with the released source code on the supported
kernel with a supported adapter, email the specific information related
to the issue to <freebsdnic@mailbox.intel.com>.

HISTORY
The em device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.4.
AUTHORS
The em driver was written by Intel Corporation
<freebsdnic@mailbox.intel.com>.
BUGS
Hardware-assisted VLAN processing is disabled by default. You can enable
it on an em interface using ifconfig(8).

NAME
em -- Intel(R) PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile support for the
em driver into your kernel, place the following line in your kernel con-
figuration file:
device em
Alternatively, to load the
em driver at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_em_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The em driver provides support for PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on
the Intel 82540, 82541ER, 82541PI, 82542, 82543, 82544, 82545, 82546,
82546EB, 82546GB, 82547 and 82573 Ethernet controller chips. The driver
supports Transmit/Receive checksum offload and Jumbo Frames only on
82540, 82543, 82544 and 82546-based adapters. For further hardware
information, see the README included with the driver.
For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documenta-
tion supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter. All hardware require-
ments listed apply to use with FreeBSD.
Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting.
Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig(8) utility con-
figures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames. The maximum
MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16114.
This driver version supports VLANs. For information on enabling VLANs,
see the README. The em driver supports the following media types:
autoselect Enables auto-negotiation for speed and duplex.
10baseT/UTP Sets 10Mbps operation. Use the mediaopt option to select
full-duplex mode.
100baseTX Sets 100Mbps operation. Use the mediaopt option to select
full-duplex mode.
1000baseSX Sets 1000Mbps operation. Only full-duplex mode is supported
at this speed.
1000baseTX Sets 1000Mbps operation. Only full-duplex mode is supported
at this speed.
The em driver supports the following media options:
full-duplex Forces full-duplex operation
half-duplex Forces half-duplex operation.
Only use mediaopt to set the driver to full-duplex. If mediaopt is not
specified, the driver defaults to half-duplex.

XL(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual XL(4)
NAME
xl -- 3Com Etherlink XL and Fast Etherlink XL Ethernet device driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile support for the
xl driver into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel con-
figuration file:
device miibus
device xl
Alternatively, to load the
xl driver at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_xl_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The xl driver provides support for PCI Ethernet adapters and embedded
controllers based on the 3Com "boomerang," "cyclone," "hurricane" and
"tornado" bus-master Etherlink XL chips.
The Etherlink XL chips support built-in 10baseT, 10base2 and 10base5
transceivers as well as an MII bus for externally attached PHY trans-
ceivers. The 3c905 series typically uses a National Semiconductor NS
83840A 10/100 PHY for 10/100 Mbps support in full or half-duplex. The
3c905B adapters have built-in autonegotiation logic mapped onto the MII
for compatibility with previous drivers. Fast Etherlink XL adapters such
as the 3c905-TX and 3c905B-TX are capable of 10 or 100Mbps data rates in
