19.Dt MOS 4
20.Os
21.Sh NAME
22.Nm mos
23.Nd Moschip MCS7730/MCS7830/MCS7832 USB Ethernet driver
24.Sh SYNOPSIS
25To compile this driver into the kernel,
26place the following lines in your
27kernel configuration file:
28.Bd -ragged -offset indent
29.Cd "device uhci"
30.Cd "device ohci"
31.Cd "device ehci"
32.Cd "device usb"
33.Cd "device miibus"
34.Cd "device mos"
35.Ed
36.Pp
37Alternatively, to load the driver as a
38module at boot time, place the following line in
39.Xr loader.conf 5 :
40.Bd -literal -offset indent
41if_mos_load="YES"
42.Ed
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm
46driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the
47Moschip MCS7730/MCS7830/MCS7832 chipset.
48.Pp
49The adapters that contain the Moschip MCS7730/MCS7830/MCS7832 chipset
50will operate at 100Base-TX and full-duplex.
51.Pp
52The Moschip contains a 10/100
53Ethernet MAC with MII interface and is designed to work with both
54Ethernet and HomePNA transceivers.
55Although designed to interface with
56100Mbps peripherals, this only works with USB 2.0. The existing USB 1.0
57standard specifies a maximum transfer speed of 12Mbps.
58USB 1.0 Users should therefore not expect to actually achieve 100Mbps speeds
59with these devices.
60.Pp
61The Moschip supports a 64-bit multicast hash table, single perfect
62filter entry for the station address and promiscuous mode.
63Packets are
64received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
65.Pp
66For more information on configuring this device, see
67.Xr ifconfig 8 .
