NAME
     bge -- Broadcom BCM570x/5721/5750/5751 PCI Gigabit Ethernet  
adapter
     driver

SYNOPSIS
     device miibus
     device bge

DESCRIPTION
     The bge driver provides support for various NICs based on the  
Broadcom
     BCM570x, 5721, 5750 and 5751 families of Gigabit Ethernet  
controller
     chips.

     All of these NICs are capable of 10, 100 and 1000Mbps speeds over  
CAT5
     copper cable, except for the SysKonnect SK-9D41 which supports  
only
     1000Mbps over multimode fiber.  The BCM570x builds upon the  
technology of
     the Alteon Tigon II.  It has two R4000 CPU cores and is PCI v2.2  
and PCI-
     X v1.0 compliant.  It supports IP, TCP and UDP checksum offload  
for both
     receive and transmit, multiple RX and TX DMA rings for QoS  
applications,
     rules-based receive filtering, and VLAN tag stripping/insertion as  
well
     as a 256-bit multicast hash filter.  Additional features may be  
provided
