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 uether"
35.Cd "device mos"
36.Ed
37.Pp
38Alternatively, to load the driver as a
39module at boot time, place the following line in
40.Xr loader.conf 5 :
41.Bd -literal -offset indent
42if_mos_load="YES"
43.Ed
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Nm
47driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the
48Moschip MCS7730/MCS7830/MCS7832 chipset.
49.Pp
50The adapters that contain the Moschip MCS7730/MCS7830/MCS7832 chipset
51will operate at 100Base-TX and full-duplex.
52.Pp
53The Moschip contains a 10/100
54Ethernet MAC with MII interface and is designed to work with both
55Ethernet and HomePNA transceivers.
56Although designed to interface with
57100Mbps peripherals, this only works with USB 2.0. The existing USB 1.0
58standard specifies a maximum transfer speed of 12Mbps.
59USB 1.0 Users should therefore not expect to actually achieve 100Mbps speeds
60with these devices.
61.Pp
62The Moschip supports a 64-bit multicast hash table, single perfect
63filter entry for the station address and promiscuous mode.
64Packets are
65received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
66.Pp

68.Xr ifconfig 8 .
