## IntelLucy
IntelLucy is an open source driver for the Intel X500 family of 10 GBit Ethernet controllers.
IntelLucy is an open source driver for the Intel X500 family of 10GBit Ethernet controllers.

**Key Features of the Driver**
- Supports Intel X520, X540, X550 and 82598 Ethernet adapters.

- Large Receive Offload: TCP/IPv4 packet streams are identified by the NIC and reassembled to large packets for handover to the network stack eliminating the overhead of packet header processing.
- Supports jumbo frames up to 9000 bytes (strongly recommended for 10 GBit/s operation).
- Designed to work with High Sierra and above.
- Supports Wake on LAN (untested).
- Supports Wake on LAN.
- Supports hardware VLAN tagging.
- Support for Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is planned for future releaes.
- Compatible with AppleVTD but also works without.

- Performance is better than com.apple.DriverKit-AppleEthernetIXGBE.
- X520 adapters have been successfully tested with passive DAC cables, 10GBase-SR and 1000Base-T SFP+ modules. SFP+ modules with 10GBase-T ports are unsupported by X520 adapters as they exceed the power limits of the SFP+ slots.
- Support for X540 adapters have has been improved and tested in version 1.0.3. Both ports are working simultaneously.
- Manual medium slecetion has been fixed for X540 and X550 in version 1.0.4.
- VLAN support has been fixed and tested in version 1.0.0.
- Wake on LAN is still untested as I don't have an adapter which supports WoL.
- Wake on LAN has been fixed and confirmed to work in version 1.0.4.

**Known Issues**
- Manual media selection doesn't work. The link is always established with the highest data rate both link partners support, i.e. 10 Gbit/s of both endpoints support it, 1 Gbit/s if the link partner is a Gigabit device, etc. As DAC cables and fibre optics usually are fixed-speed devices, only RJ-45 ports are affected of this limitation. As this is the specified behavior of the underlying Linux driver, a reqrite of the low level code will be required and is planned ASAP.
- Try to avoid media with flow control enabled as it might cause repeated connection drops due to transmitter hangs and serious performance issues.
- For WoL to work you need 4 things:
- An adapter which supports WoL (only a few X520 adapters support it).
