38 .Nd ADMtek AN986 Pegasus USB Ethernet driver
40 To compile this driver into the kernel,
41 place the following lines in your
42 kernel configuration file:
43 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
51 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
52 module at boot time, place the following line in
54 .Bd -literal -offset indent
60 driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the ADMtek
61 AN986 Pegasus chipset.
63 The LinkSys USB10T adapters that contain the AN986 Pegasus chipset
64 will operate at 100Base-TX and full-duplex.
66 The Pegasus contains a 10/100
67 Ethernet MAC with MII interface and is designed to work with both
68 Ethernet and HomePNA transceivers.
69 Although designed to interface with
70 100Mbps peripherals, the existing USB standard specifies a maximum
71 transfer speed of 12Mbps.
72 Users should therefore not expect to actually
73 achieve 100Mbps speeds with these devices.
75 The Pegasus supports a 64-bit multicast hash table, single perfect
76 filter entry for the station address and promiscuous mode.
78 received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
82 driver supports the following media types:
83 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
85 Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
86 The user can manually override
87 the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
94 option can also be used to enable
103 Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
106 option can also be used to enable
118 driver supports the following media options:
119 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
121 Force full duplex operation.
122 The interface will operate in
123 half duplex mode if this media option is not specified.

178 .It "aue%d: watchdog timeout"
179 A packet was queued for transmission and a transmit command was
180 issued, however the device failed to acknowledge the transmission
181 before a timeout expired.
182 .It "aue%d: no memory for rx list"
183 The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
