NAME
       aue -- ADMtek AN986 Pegasus USB Ethernet	driver

SYNOPSIS
       device uhci
       device ohci
       device usb
       device miibus
       device aue

DESCRIPTION
       The  aue	driver provides	support	for USB	ethernet adapters based	on the
       ADMtek AN986 Pegasus chipset, including the following:

          Abocom UFE1000, DSB650TX_NA

          Accton USB320-EC, SpeedStream

          ADMtek AN986, AN8511

          Billionton USB100, USB100LP,	USB100EL, USBE100

          Corega Ether	FEther USB-T, FEther USB-TX, FEther USB-TXS

          D-Link DSB-650, DSB-650TX, DSB-650TX-PNA

          Elecom LD-USBL/TX

          Elsa	Microlink USB2Ethernet

          I-O Data USB	ETTX

          Kingston KNU101TX

          LinkSys USB10T adapters that	contain	 the  AN986  Pegasus  chipset,
	   USB10TA, USB10TX, USB100TX, USB100H1

          MELCO LUA-TX, LUA2-TX

          Planex UE-200TX

          Siemens Speedstream

          SmartBridges	smartNIC

          SMC 2202USB

          SOHOware NUB100

       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	 stan-
       dard 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 fil-
       ter  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  op-
			     tions.  The user can manually override the	autos-
			     elected  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.
