.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.

|
|
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.

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "aue%d: watchdog timeout"
|
|
A packet was queued for transmission and a transmit command was
|
|
issued, however the device failed to acknowledge the transmission
|
|
before a timeout expired.
|
|
.It "aue%d: no memory for rx list"
|
|
The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device driver first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 4.0 .
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver was written by
|
|
.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@ee.columbia.edu .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
For some reason, outgoing bulk transfers (i.e. packet transmissions)
|
|
fail if the transfer is exactly a multiple of 64 bytes in size. The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver works around this by padding such transfers up by one additional
|
|
byte. This does not affect connectivity, however it does cause packets
|
|
to occasionaly appear on the wire with one additional byte for no good
|
|
reason. It is not known if this bug is due to a problem with Pegasus
|
|
chip itself or some peculiarity of the underlying USB support.
