NAME
bge -- Broadcom BCM570x/5721/5750/5751 PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter
driver


SYNOPSIS
    device miibus
    device bge

DESCRIPTION
The bge driver provides support for various NICs based on the Broadcom
BCM570x, 5721, 5750 and 5751 families of Gigabit Ethernet controller
chips.


All of these NICs are capable of 10, 100 and 1000Mbps speeds over CAT5
copper cable, except for the SysKonnect SK-9D41 which supports only
1000Mbps over multimode fiber. The BCM570x builds upon the technology of
the Alteon Tigon II. It has two R4000 CPU cores and is PCI v2.2 and PCI-
X v1.0 compliant. It supports IP, TCP and UDP checksum offload for both
receive and transmit, multiple RX and TX DMA rings for QoS applications,
rules-based receive filtering, and VLAN tag stripping/insertion as well
as a 256-bit multicast hash filter. Additional features may be provided
