DESCRIPTION
The
aue
driver provides support for USB
Ethernet
adapters based on the ADMtek AN986 Pegasus and AN8511 Pegasus II chipsets.
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.
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.
The
aue
driver supports the following media types:
- autoselect
-
Enable automatic selection of the media type and options. The user can
manually override the automatically selected mode by adding media options to
the
/etc/rc.conf
file.
- 10baseT/UTP
-
Set 10Mbps operation. The
mediaopt
option can also be used to enable
full-duplex
operation. Not specifying
full duplex
implies
half-duplex
mode.
- 100baseTX
-
Set 100Mbps (fast
Ethernet)
operation. The
mediaopt
option can also be used to enable
full-duplex
operation. Not specifying
full duplex
implies
half-duplex
mode.
The
aue
driver supports the following media options:
- full-duplex
-
Force full duplex operation. The interface will operate in half duplex mode
if this media option is not specified.
For more information on configuring this device, see
ifconfig(8).
DIAGNOSTICS
- 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.
- aue%d: no memory for rx list
-
The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
