+<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">axe</code> driver provides support for USB
+ Ethernet adapters based on the ASIX Electronics AX88172, AX88178, AX88772,
+ AX88772A, AX88772B and AX88760 USB 2.0 chipsets.</p>
+<p class="Pp">The AX88172, AX88772, AX88772A, AX88772B and AX88760 contain a
+ 10/100 Ethernet MAC with MII interface and are designed to work with both
+ Ethernet and HomePNA transceivers. The AX88178 has a 10/100/1000 Ethernet
+ MAC with GMII/RGMII interface for interfacing with Gigabit Ethernet PHY.</p>
+<p class="Pp">These devices will operate with both USB 1.x and USB 2.0
+ controllers, however performance with 1.x controllers will be limited since
+ the USB 1.x standard specifies a maximum transfer speed of 12Mbps. Users
+ with USB 1.x controllers should therefore not expect to actually achieve
+ 100Mbps speeds with these devices.</p>
+<p class="Pp">All chipsets support a 64-bit multicast hash table, single perfect
+ filter entry for the station address, all-multicast mode and promiscuous
+ mode. Packets are received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer
+ endpoints.</p>
+<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">axe</code> driver supports the following
+ media types:</p>
+<dl class="Bl-tag">
+ <dt id="autoselect"><a class="permalink" href="#autoselect"><code class="Cm">autoselect</code></a></dt>
+ <dd>Enable autoselection of the media type and options. The user can manually

+ <dt id="10baseT/UTP"><a class="permalink" href="#10baseT/UTP"><code class="Cm">10baseT/UTP</code></a></dt>
