+ <p>This project aims to add support for the LiquidIO family
+ of high-performance programmable accellerator 10/40-gigabit
+ Ethernet network adapters. The currently developed kernel driver
+ supports CN6640- and CN6880-based PCIe cards, enabling the
+ following features:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>A CNNIC API for controlling/interacting with the smart NIC
+ from user and kernel space including:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Handling multiple concurrent applications running on the
+ same device</li>
+ <li>Request/reply mechanism for (a)synchronous
+ ordered/unordered communication</li>
+ <li>Remote memory operations</li>
+ <li>Device shutdown/reset</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>A basic NIC module utilizing the CNNIC API and a
+ Cavium-provided NIC firmware. This module provides:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Single/multi-queue TX</li>
+ <li>Hardware TCP/UDP checksum offloading</li>
+ <li>Large Receive Offload</li>
+ <li>Promiscous mode</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>Sysctl-based device statistics and configuration view</li>
+ <li>Custom firmware loading via user-built modules and
+ &os;'s firmware(9) mechanism.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>The project is currently being developed in house and is
+ currently being prepared for upstream. We plan on making it
+ available in &os; 11.</p>
