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

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