63.Sh DESCRIPTION
64The
65.Nm
66driver provides support for USB
67.Tn Ethernet
68adapters based on the ADMtek AN986 Pegasus chipset.
69.Pp
70The Pegasus contains a 10/100
71.Tn Ethernet
72MAC with MII interface and is designed to work with both
73.Tn Ethernet
74and HomePNA transceivers.  Although designed to interface with
75100Mbps peripherals, the existing USB standard specifies a maximum
76transfer speed of 12Mbps.  Users should therefore not expect to actually
77achieve 100Mbps speeds with these devices.
78.Pp
79The Pegasus supports a 64-bit multicast hash table, single perfect
80filter entry for the station address and promiscuous mode.  Packets are
81received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
82.Pp
83The
84.Nm
85driver supports the following media types:
86.Pp
87.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
88.It autoselect
89Enable automatic selection of the media type and options.  The user can
90manually override the automatically selected mode by adding media options to
91the
92.Pa /etc/rc.conf
93file.
94.It 10baseT/UTP
95Set 10Mbps operation.  The
96.Ar mediaopt
97option can also be used to enable
98.Ar full-duplex
99operation.  Not specifying
100.Ar full duplex
101implies
102.Ar half-duplex
103mode.
104.It 100baseTX
105Set 100Mbps (fast
106.Tn Ethernet )
107operation.  The
108.Ar mediaopt
109option can also be used to enable
110.Ar full-duplex
111operation.  Not specifying
112.Ar full duplex
113implies
114.Ar half-duplex
115mode.
116.El
117.Pp
118The
119.Nm
120driver supports the following media options:
121.Pp
122.Bl -tag -width xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
123.It full-duplex
124Force full duplex operation.  The interface will operate in half duplex mode
125if this media option is not specified.
126.El
127.Pp

129.Xr ifconfig 8 .
130.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
131.Bl -diag
132.It "aue%d: watchdog timeout"
133A packet was queued for transmission and a transmit command was
134issued, however the device failed to acknowledge the transmission
135before a timeout expired.
136.It "aue%d: no memory for rx list"
137The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
