+E1000 Poll Mode Driver
+======================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+DPDK provides several poll mode drivers (PMDs) supporting Intel 1 Gigabit ethernet controller families.
+These include:
+
+* e1000 – Intel 8254x family devices, including QEMU ``e1000`` emulation.
+* e1000e – Intel PRO/1000 PCI‑Express family (82563/6/7, 82571/2/3/4/7/8/9, 82583 and I217/I218/I219-based adapters).
+
+.. note::
+
+ The ``igb`` and ``igc`` PMDs are built from the same driver binary but are documented in separate sections for clarity.
+
