AXE(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual AXE(4) NAME axe -- ASIX Electronics AX88172/AX88178/AX88772 10/100/Gigabit USB Ether- net device SYNOPSIS axe* at uhub? rgephy* at mii? rlphy* at mii? eephy* at mii? DESCRIPTION The axe driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the ASIX Electronics AX88172, AX88178, and AX88772 USB 2.0 chipsets, includ- ing the following: Apple USB Ethernet Adapter A1277 ATEN UC-210T BAFO BF-320 Billionton Systems USB2AR Buffalo(MELCO) LUA-U2-GT Buffalo(MELCO) LUA-U2-KTX Corega FEther USB2-TX D-Link DUB-E100 Delock Gigabit USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter Good Way GWUSB2E Hawking UF200 Intellinet USB 2.0 to Ethernet (rev A) IO-Data ETG-US2 JVC MP-PRX1 Konig CMP-NWUSB20 Lenovo USB 2.0 Ethernet Level One USB-0200 Level One USB-0301 Linksys USB200M Linksys USB1000 Logitec LAN-GTJ/U2 Netgear FA120 Nintendo Wii USB Lan Ethernet Adapter RVL-015 OQO model 01+ Ethernet Sitecom LN-029 SMC 2209USB/ETH SnapPort USB 2.0 LAN Adapter ST Lab USB 2.0 Fast Ethernet Surecom EP-1427X-2 System TALKS SGC-X2UL TRENDnet TU2-ET100 Z-TEK ZK-R01-2 The AX88172, AX88178, and AX88772 are USB 2.0 devices designed to work with either Ethernet or HomePNA transceivers. The AX88172 and AX88772 contain 10/100 Ethernet MACs with MII interfaces. The AX88178 contains a 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet MAC with a GMII/MII interface. All adapters will operate with either USB 1.x or 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. A 64-bit multicast hash table is supported, single perfect filter entry for the station address, all-multicast mode, and promiscuous mode. Pack- ets are received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer end- points. The axe driver supports the following media types: autoselect Enable autoselection of the media type and options (this is the default). The user can manually override the autose- lected mode by adding media options to the appropriate hostname.if(5) file. 10baseT Set 10Mbps operation. 100baseTX Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation. 1000baseT Set 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) operation (AX88178 only). The axe driver supports the following media options: full-duplex Force full-duplex operation. half-duplex Force half-duplex operation. The interface will operate in half-duplex mode if no media option is specified. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). DIAGNOSTICS axe0: watchdog timeout A packet was queued for transmission and a trans- mit command was issued, however the device failed to acknowledge the transmission before a timeout expired. axe0: no memory for rx list The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
