NAME
aue - ADMtek AN986 Pegasus USB Ethernet driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following
lines in your
kernel configuration file:
device uhci
device ohci
device usb
device miibus
device aue
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time,
place the
following line in loader.conf(5):
if_aue_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
- The aue driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters
- based on the
ADMtek AN986 Pegasus chipset. - The LinkSys USB10T adapters that contain the AN986 Pegasus
- chipset will
operate at 100Base-TX and full-duplex. - The Pegasus contains a 10/100 Ethernet MAC with MII inter
- face 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 de - vices.
- 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 autoselection of the media type
- and options.
- The user can manually override the au
- toselected
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 opera
- tion. 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 in
- terface will
- operate in half duplex mode if this
- media option is
not specified. - For more information on configuring this device, see ifcon
- fig(8).

DIAGNOSTICS
- aue%d: watchdog timeout A packet was queued for transmis
- sion 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.
