ie1g (Intel® PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver)

Overview

The ie1g driver provides support for PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the Intel series of Gigabit controller chips. The ie1g driver is actually a wrapper for three driver modules which together cover the whole range of PCI, PCI-X and PCI Express adapters.

Support for Jumbo Frames is provided via the interface MTU setting. Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the ifconfig utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit Jumbo Frames. The maximum MTU size for Jumbo Frames is 16114.

The ie1g driver supports the following media types:

The ie1g driver supports the following media options:

Hardware

The ie1g driver supports Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters. The list of supported hardware may be found from the stack:

ldrta istack.rta -args -LL

Note: certain devices supported by this driver do not support MSI (Message Signaled Interrupts) and some have the support disabled because of hardware bugs. These devices belong to the 8254X series of controllers.
It is possible to pass such devices to INtime "with MSI" because they advertise that feature, but the driver disables MSI support. In this case the driver will fail to load with error 8004 (E_PARAM) reported.

Loader tunables

Tunables can be set in loader.cfg.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic messages will be logged to System Event Log.
