36.Sh NAME
37.Nm aue
38.Nd ADMtek AN986 Pegasus USB Ethernet driver
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.Cd "device uhci"
41.Cd "device ohci"
42.Cd "device usb"
43.Cd "device miibus"
44.Cd "device aue"
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Nm
48driver provides support for USB ethernet adapters based on the ADMtek
49AN986 Pegasus chipset, including the LinkSys USB100TX, the Billionton
50Systems USB100, the Melco Inc. LU-ATX, the D-Link DSB-650TX, the
51SMC 2202USB, and those LinkSys USB10T adapters that contain the
52AN986 Pegasus chipset.
53The LinkSys USB10T adapters that contain the AN986 Pegasus chipset
54will operate at 100Base-TX and full-duplex.
55.Pp
56The Pegasus contains a 10/100
57ethernet MAC with MII interface and is designed to work with both
58ethernet and HomePNA transceivers.
59Although designed to interface with
60100Mbps peripherals, the existing USB standard specifies a maximum
61transfer speed of 12Mbps.
62Users should therefore not expect to actually
63achieve 100Mbps speeds with these devices.
64.Pp
65The Pegasus supports a 64-bit multicast hash table, single perfect
66filter entry for the station address and promiscuous mode.
67Packets are
68received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
69.Pp
70The
71.Nm
72driver supports the following media types:
73.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
74.It autoselect
75Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
76The user can manually override
77the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
78.Pa /etc/rc.conf
79file.
80.It 10baseT/UTP
81Set 10Mbps operation.
82The
83.Ar mediaopt
84option can also be used to enable
85.Ar full-duplex
86operation.
87Not specifying
88.Ar full duplex
89implies
90.Ar half-duplex
91mode.
92.It 100baseTX
93Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation.
94The
95.Ar mediaopt
96option can also be used to enable
97.Ar full-duplex
98operation.
99Not specifying
100.Ar full duplex
101implies
102.Ar half-duplex
103mode.
104.El
105.Pp
106The
107.Nm
108driver supports the following media options:
109.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
110.It full-duplex
111Force full duplex operation.
112The interface will operate in
113half duplex mode if this media option is not specified.
114.El
115.Pp
116For more information on configuring this device, see
117.Xr ifconfig 8 .
118.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
119.Bl -diag
120.It "aue%d: watchdog timeout"
121A packet was queued for transmission and a transmit command was
122issued, however the device failed to acknowledge the transmission
123before a timeout expired.
124.It "aue%d: no memory for rx list"
125The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
