.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for USB ethernet adapters based on the ADMtek
|
|
AN986 Pegasus chipset, including the LinkSys USB100TX, the Billionton
|
|
Systems USB100, the Melco Inc. LU-ATX, the D-Link DSB-650TX and the
|
|
SMC 2202USB.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The Pegasus contains a 10/100
|
|
ethernet MAC with MII interface and is designed to work with both
|
|
ethernet and HomePNA transceivers.
|
|
Although designed to interface with
|
|
100Mbps peripherals, the existing USB standard specifies a maximum
|
|
transfer speed of 12Mbps.
|
|
Users should therefore not expect to actually
|
|
achieve 100Mbps speeds with these devices.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The Pegasus supports a 64-bit multicast hash table, single perfect
|
|
filter entry for the station address and promiscuous mode.
|
|
Packets are
|
|
received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the following media types:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It autoselect
|
|
Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
|
|
The user can manually override
|
|
the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
|
|
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
|
|
file.
|
|
.It 10baseT/UTP
|
|
Set 10Mbps operation.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar mediaopt
|
|
option can also be used to enable
|
|
.Ar full-duplex
|
|
operation.
|
|
Not specifying
|
|
.Ar full duplex
|
|
implies
|
|
.Ar half-duplex
|
|
mode.
|
|
.It 100baseTX
|
|
Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar mediaopt
|
|
option can also be used to enable
|
|
.Ar full-duplex
|
|
operation.
|
|
Not specifying
|
|
.Ar full duplex
|
|
implies
|
|
.Ar half-duplex
|
|
mode.
|

.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver supports the following media options:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
|
|
.It full-duplex
|
|
Force full duplex operation.
|
|
The interface will operate in
|
|
half duplex mode if this media option is not specified.
