.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the RealTek
|
|
RTL8150 USB to Fast Ethernet controller chip.
|
|
This includes the Melco Inc. LUA-KTX, the GREEN HOUSE GH-USB100B,
|
|
and the Billionton 10/100 FastEthernet USBKR2 "thumb" adaptor.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The RTL8150 contains an integrated Fast Ethernet MAC, which supports
|
|
both 10 and 100Mbps speeds in either full or half duplex.
|
|
Although designed to interface with
|
|
100Mbps peripheral, the existing USB standard specifies a maximum
|
|
transfer speed of 12Mbps.
|
|
Users should therefore not expect to actually
|
|
achieve 100Mbps speeds with this device.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the following media types:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
|
|
.It Cm autoselect
|
|
Enable auto selection of the media type and options.
|
|
The user can manually override
|
|
the auto selected mode by adding media options to the
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
.It Cm 10baseT/UTP
|
|
Set 10Mbps operation.
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm mediaopt
|
|
option can also be used to select either
|
|
.Cm full-duplex
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm half-duplex
|
|
modes.
|
|
.It Cm 100baseTX
|
|
Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm mediaopt
|
|
option can also be used to select either
|
|
.Cm full-duplex
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm half-duplex
|
|
modes.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The

|
|
driver supports the following media options:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
|
|
.It Cm full-duplex
|
|
Force full duplex operation.
|
|
.It Cm half-duplex
