MOS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MOS(4)NAME
mos -- Moschip MCS7730/MCS7830/MCS7832 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 ehci
device usb
device miibus
device mos
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_mos_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The mos driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the Moschip MCS7730/MCS7830/MCS7832 chipset.
The adapters that contain the Moschip MCS7730/MCS7830/MCS7832 chipset will operate at 100Base-TX and full-duplex.
The Moschip 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, this only works with USB 2.0. The existing USB 1.0 standard specifies a maximum transfer
speed of 12Mbps. USB 1.0 Users should therefore not expect to actually achieve 100Mbps speeds with these devices.
The Moschip 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.
For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

Adapters supported by the mos driver include:
o Sitecom LN030

AUE(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual AUE(4)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 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 there-
fore 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 autoselection of the media type and options. The user can manually override the autoselected 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.
