🦋 NAME 🦋

Okay so bestie, this is xge(4) from the Kernel Interfaces Manual, and she is the Neterion Xframe-I Ten Gigabit Ethernet driver 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

xge* at pci? dev ? function ?

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The xge device driver supports the Neterion Xframe-I LR Ethernet adapter, which uses a single mode fiber (1310nm) interface. No cap, that's the vibe 🦋

The Xframe supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming in hardware, as well as TCP Segmentation Offloading (TSO) and hardware VLAN handling.

⚠️ But heads up bestie: the driver currently does not support the hardware VLAN feature. That's just how it is on this page.

See ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable TSO and hardware checksum calculation 👑✨

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

  • xge%s: failed configuring endian, %llx != %llx! — The Xframe could not be turned into the correct endian operation. This is most likely a hardware error 😭
  • xge%d: failed allocating txmem.
  • xge%d: failed allocating rxmem. — The computer has run out of kernel memory. Not the cute kind of out-of-memory, the kernel kind 💀
  • xge%d: adapter not quiescent, aborting
  • xge%d: ADAPTER_STATUS missing bits %s — The Xframe could not be turned into a usable state. Most likely an Xframe hardware error 🙈
  • xge%d: cannot create TX DMA maps
  • xge%d: cannot create RX DMA maps — This error is either a kernel error or that the kernel has run out of available memory 🫶
  • xge%d: bad compiler struct alignment, %d != %d — The compiler did not align the structure correctly. This is a compiler problem, fr fr 🌸

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

🎀 HISTORY 🎀

The xge driver first appeared in NetBSD 3.0. Iconic behavior honestly 🎀✨

👑 AUTHORS 👑

The xge driver was written by Anders Magnusson <ragge@ludd.luth.se>. Slay 🫶

🙈 BUGS 🙈

There should be an XGMII framework for the driver to use. That's the whole bug note, bestie 💅

Source/version + date sign-off: this page is from Debian, dated September 9, 2005. Byeee bestie, go understand that Xframe-I with confidence 💖✨🦋
