LU-ATX. 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. +.Pp +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. +.Pp +The +.Nm +driver supports the following media types: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +.It autoselect +Enable autoselection of the media type and options. +The user can manually override +the autoselected mode by adding media options to the +.Pa /etc/rc.conf +file. +.It 10baseT/UTP +Set 10Mbps operation. The +.Ar mediaopt +option can also be used to enable +.Ar full-duplex +operation. Not specifying +.Ar full duplex +implies +.Ar half-duplex +mode. +.It 100baseTX +Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation. The +.Ar mediaopt +option can also be used to enable +.Ar full-duplex +operation. Not specifying +.Ar full duplex +implies +.Ar half-duplex +mode. +.El +.Pp +The +.Nm +driver supports the following media options: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +.It full-duplex +Force full duplex operation. The interface will operate in +half duplex mode if this media option is not specified. +.El +.Pp +For more information on configuring this device, see +.Xr ifconfig 8 . +.Sh DIAGNOSTICS +.Bl -diag +.It "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. +.It "aue%d: no memory for rx list" +The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring. +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr arp 4 , +.Xr netintro 4 , +.Xr ifconfig 8 +.Rs +.%T ADMtek AN986 data sheet +.%O http://www.admtek.com.tw +.Re +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +device driver first appeared in +.Fx 4.0 . +.Sh AUTHORS +The +.Nm +driver was written by +.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@ee.columbia.edu . +.Sh BUGS +For some reason, outgoing bulk transfers (i.e. packet transmissions) +fail if the transfer is exactly a multiple of 64 bytes in size. The +.Nm +driver works around this by padding such transfers up by one additional +byte. This does not affect connectivity, however it does cause packets +to occasionaly appear on the wire with one additional byte for no good +reason. It is not known if this bug is due to a problem with Pegasus +chip itself or some peculiarity of the underlying USB support. |
