NAME
       axe -- ASIX Electronics AX88172 USB Ethernet driver

SYNOPSIS
       To  compile  this  driver into the kernel, place	the following lines in
       your kernel configuration file:

	     device ehci
	     device uhci
	     device ohci
	     device usb
	     device miibus
	     device axe

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at	boot time,  place  the
       following line in loader.conf(5):

	     if_axe_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
       The  axe	driver provides	support	for USB	Ethernet adapters based	on the
       ASIX Electronics	AX88172	USB 2.0	chipset.

       The AX88172 is a	USB 2.0	device which contains a	 10/100	 Ethernet  MAC
       with MII	interface and is designed to work with both Ethernet and Home-
       PNA  transceivers.   The	AX88172	will operate with both USB 1.x and USB
       2.0 controllers,	however	performance with 1.x controllers will be  lim-
       ited  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.

       The AX88172 supports a 64-bit multicast hash table, single perfect fil-
       ter  entry  for the station address, all-multicast mode and promiscuous
       mode.  Packets are received and	transmitted  over  separate  USB  bulk
       transfer	endpoints.

       The axe driver supports the following media types:

       autoselect   Enable  autoselection  of the media	type and options.  The
		    user can manually override the autoselected	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  op-
		    tion  can  also  be	 used to enable	full-duplex operation.
		    Not	specifying full-duplex implies half-duplex mode.

       The axe 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).

HARDWARE
       The  axe	 driver	 supports  ASIX	Electronics AX88172 based USB Ethernet
       adapters	including:

       •   Buffalo (Melco Inc.)	LUA-U2-KTX
       •   D-Link DUB-E100, revision A
       •   LinkSys USB200M
       •   Netgear FA120
       •   Sitecom LN-029
       •   System TALKS	Inc. SGC-X2UL

DIAGNOSTICS
       axe%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.

       axe%d: no memory	for rx list  The driver	failed to allocate an mbuf for
       the receiver ring.
