NAME

6       bfe - Device driver for Broadcom BCM4401 100Base-T NIC
7

DESCRIPTION

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.
