MOS(4)			     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 uether
	   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 de-
     signed to work with both Ethernet and HomePNA transceivers.   Although  de-
     signed 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).
