URE(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual URE(4) NAME ure -- RealTek RTL8152/RTL8153/RTL8153B/RTL8156/RTL8156B USB to Ether- net controller 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 uether device ure Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_ure_load="YES" DESCRIPTION The ure driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the RealTek RTL8152, RTL8153/RTL8153B, and RTL8156/RTL8156B USB Ethernet controllers, as well as USB Ethernet PHYs provided by rgephy(4). NICs based on the RTL8152 are capable of 10 and 100Mbps. NICs based on the RTL8153 or provided by rgephy(4) are capable of 10, 100, and 1000Mbps. NICs based on the RTL8156 are capable of 10, 100, 1000, and 2500Mbps operation. The ure driver supports the following media types: autoselect Enable auto selection of the media type and options. The user can manually override the auto selected mode by adding media options to the /etc/rc.conf file. 10baseT/UTP Set 10Mbps operation. The mediaopt option can also be used to select either full-duplex or half-duplex modes. 100baseTX Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation. The mediaopt op- tion can also be used to select either full-duplex or half-duplex modes. 1000baseTX Set 1000baseTX (Gigabit Ethernet) operation over twisted pair. The RealTek gigE chips support 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode only. 2500base-T Set 2500Base-T operation over twisted pair. The RealTek 8156/8156B chips support 2500Mbps in full-duplex mode only. The ure driver supports the following media options for 10/100 opera- tion: full-duplex Force full-duplex operation. half-duplex Force half-duplex operation.
