.Dd November 22, 2013 .Dt AXGE 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm axge .Nd "ASIX Electronics AX88178A/AX88179 USB Gigabit Ethernet driver" .Sh SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: d -ragged -offset indent .Cd "device xhci" .Cd "device ehci" .Cd "device uhci" .Cd "device ohci" .Cd "device usb" .Cd "device miibus" .Cd "device axge" .Ed
p Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in .Xr loader.conf 5 : d -literal -offset indent if_axge_load="YES" .Ed .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver provides support for USB Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the ASIX Electronics AX88179 USB 3.0 and AX88178A USB 2.0 chipsets.
p The AX88179 and AX88178A contain a 10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC with a GMII interface for interfacing with the Gigabit Ethernet PHY.
p These devices will operate with both USB 1.x and USB 2.0 controllers, and the AX88179 will operate with USB 3.0 controllers. Packets are received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
p The .Nm driver supports the following media types: l -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP" t Cm autoselect Enable autoselection of the media type and options. The user can manually override the autoselected mode by adding media options to .Xr rc.conf 5 . t Cm 10baseT/UTP Set 10Mbps operation. The .Xr ifconfig 8 .Cm mediaopt option can also be used to select either .Cm full-duplex or .Cm half-duplex modes. t Cm 100baseTX Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation. The .Xr ifconfig 8 .Cm mediaopt option can also be used to select either .Cm full-duplex or .Cm half-duplex modes. t Cm 1000baseT Set 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) operation (AX88178 only). The .Xr ifconfig 8 .Cm mediaopt option can also be used to select either .Cm full-duplex or .Cm half-duplex modes. .El
p The .Nm driver supports the following media options: l -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex" t Cm full-duplex Force full duplex operation. t Cm half-duplex Force half duplex operation. .El
