NAME

6       npe - PCI Express bus nexus driver
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  npe  nexus driver is used on X64 servers for PCI Express Root Com‐
10       plex devices that provide PCI Express interconnect. This driver is com‐
11       pliant to PCI Express base specification, Revision 1.0a.
12
13
14       This  nexus  driver provides support for the following features: Access
15       to extended configuration space, IEEE 1275 extensions for PCI  Express,
16       Base line PCI Express error handling and PCI Express MSI interrupts.
