<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">aue</code> driver provides support for USB
Fast Ethernet adapters based on the ADMtek AN986 Pegasus chipset.</p>
<p class="Pp">The LinkSys USB10T adapters that contain the AN986 Pegasus chipset
will operate at 100Base-TX and full-duplex.</p>
<p class="Pp">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 standard
specifies a maximum transfer speed of 12Mbps. Users should therefore not
expect to actually achieve 100Mbps speeds with these devices.</p>
<p class="Pp">The Pegasus 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.</p>
<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">aue</code> driver supports the following
media types:</p>
<dl class="Bl-tag">
<dt>autoselect</dt>
<dd>Enable autoselection of the media type and options. The user can manually
override the autoselected mode by adding media options to the
<span class="Pa">/etc/rc.conf</span> file.</dd>
<dt>10baseT/UTP</dt>
<dd>Set 10Mbps operation. The <var class="Ar">mediaopt</var> option can also
be used to enable <var class="Ar">full-duplex</var> operation. Not
specifying <var class="Ar">full duplex</var> implies
<var class="Ar">half-duplex</var> mode.</dd>
<dt>100baseTX</dt>
<dd>Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation. The <var class="Ar">mediaopt</var>
option can also be used to enable <var class="Ar">full-duplex</var>
operation. Not specifying <var class="Ar">full duplex</var> implies
<var class="Ar">half-duplex</var> mode.</dd>
</dl>
<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">aue</code> driver supports the following
media options:</p>
<dl class="Bl-tag">
<dt>full-duplex</dt>
<dd>Force full duplex operation. The interface will operate in half duplex
mode if this media option is not specified.</dd>
</dl>
