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
       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 fil-
       ter 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).

HARDWARE
       Adapters	supported by the mos driver include:
