devn-pegasus.so

Driver for SMC EZ Connect and other USB Ethernet adapters based on the Pegasus chipset

Syntax:

io-net -d pegasus [option[,option ...]] ...

Options:

Use commas (,) to separate the options (not spaces).

duplex=0|1

Half (0) or full (1) duplex mode.

iftype=num

Interface type (from <net/if_types.h>). The default is IFT_ETHER.

lan=num

LAN number. The default is 0.

mac=XXXXXXXXXXXX

MAC address of the controller. You must set the MAC address for this controller.

media=num

Media type (from <hw/nicinfo.h>). The default is NIC_MEDIA_802_3.

mru=num

Maximum receive unit. The default is 1514.

mtu=num

Maximum transmission unit. The default (1514) is automatically detected on supported hardware.

nomulticast

Disable multicast support.

path

Set the device name. The default is /dev/usbenet0.

phy=num

Address of the connected PHY device.

priority=N

Priority of the driver event-thread. The default is 21.

promiscuous

Enable promiscuous mode. The default is off.

receive=num

Set the number of receive descriptors/buffers. The default is 5.

speed=10|100

Force media data rate (10Mbit or 100Mbit operation). The default is automatically detected on supported hardware. If you specify speed, specify duplex as well; if speed alone is specified, the specified speed will be correctly set, but duplex will default to half (0).

transmit=num

Set the number of transmit descriptors/buffers. The default is 10.

uptype=name

Interface name. The default is "en".

verbose
verbose=num

Be verbose. Specify num for more verbosity (num can be 1-4, the higher the number, the more detailed the output). The default is 0. The output goes to slogger, invoke sloginfo to view.

wait=num

Wait num seconds for the USB stack. The default wait time is 60 seconds.

Description:

The devn-pegasus.so driver controls the SMC EZ Connect USB Ethernet adapter and other USB Ethernet adapters based on the Pegasus chipset.

Examples:

Start io-net using the Pegasus driver and the full TCP/IP stack:

io-net -d pegasus -p tcpip
ifconfig en0 10.184

Caveats:

Start the USB stack before using this driver (see devu-ohci.so or devu-uhci.so)
