.Nd ADMtek AN986 Pegasus USB Ethernet driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile support for the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver into your kernel, place the following lines in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device uhci"
|
|
.Cd "device ohci"
|
|
.Cd "device usb"
|
|
.Cd "device miibus"
|
|
.Cd "device aue"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the ADMtek
|
|
AN986 Pegasus chipset.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The LinkSys USB10T adapters that contain the AN986 Pegasus chipset
|
|
will operate at 100Base-TX and full-duplex.
|
|
.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.
|
|
.El
|

.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.
