38 .Nd ADMtek AN986 Pegasus USB Ethernet driver
48 driver provides support for USB ethernet adapters based on the ADMtek
49 AN986 Pegasus chipset, including the LinkSys USB100TX, the Billionton
50 Systems USB100, the Melco Inc. LU-ATX, the D-Link DSB-650TX, the
51 SMC 2202USB, and those LinkSys USB10T adapters that contain the
52 AN986 Pegasus chipset.
53 The LinkSys USB10T adapters that contain the AN986 Pegasus chipset
54 will operate at 100Base-TX and full-duplex.
56 The Pegasus contains a 10/100
57 ethernet MAC with MII interface and is designed to work with both
58 ethernet and HomePNA transceivers.
59 Although designed to interface with
60 100Mbps peripherals, the existing USB standard specifies a maximum
61 transfer speed of 12Mbps.
62 Users should therefore not expect to actually
63 achieve 100Mbps speeds with these devices.
65 The Pegasus supports a 64-bit multicast hash table, single perfect
66 filter entry for the station address and promiscuous mode.
68 received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
72 driver supports the following media types:
73 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
75 Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
76 The user can manually override
77 the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
84 option can also be used to enable
93 Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation.
96 option can also be used to enable
108 driver supports the following media options:
109 .Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
111 Force full duplex operation.
112 The interface will operate in
113 half duplex mode if this media option is not specified.
116 For more information on configuring this device, see
120 .It "aue%d: watchdog timeout"
121 A packet was queued for transmission and a transmit command was
122 issued, however the device failed to acknowledge the transmission
123 before a timeout expired.
124 .It "aue%d: no memory for rx list"
125 The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
