This driver is a reimplementation of the NVIDIA supported Linux nvnet driver and uses the same closed source API library to access the underlying hardware. There is currently no programming documentation available for this device, and therefore little is known about the internal architecture of the MAC engine itself.

The nve driver supports the following media types:

autoselect	Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
10baseT/UTP	Set 10Mbps operation.
100baseTX	Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.

The nve driver supports the following media options:

full-duplex
