6 bfe - Device driver for Broadcom BCM4401 100Base-T NIC
7
9 The bfe Fast Ethernet driver is GLD-based and supports the Broadcom
10 BCM4401 100Base-T NIC adapters :pci14e4,170c Broadcom BCM4401 100Base-
11 T..

14 The bfe driver supports IEEE 802.3 auto-negotiation, flow control and
15 VLAN tagging.
16
17 Configuration
18 The default configuration is auto-negotiation with bidirectional flow
19 control. The advertised capabilities for auto-negotiation are based on
20 the capabilities of the PHY.
21
22
23 You can set the capabilities advertised by the bfe controlled device
24 using dladm(1M). The driver supports only those parameters which begin
25 with en (enabled) in the parameters listed by the command dladm(1M).
26 Each of these boolean parameters determines if the device advertises
27 that mode of operation when the hardware supports it.
