18.Os
19.Sh NAME
20.Nm mos
21.Nd Moschip MCS7730/MCS7830/MCS7832 USB Ethernet driver
22.Sh SYNOPSIS
23To compile this driver into the kernel,
24place the following lines in your
25kernel configuration file:
26.Bd -ragged -offset indent
27.Cd "device uhci"
28.Cd "device ohci"
29.Cd "device ehci"
30.Cd "device usb"
31.Cd "device miibus"
32.Cd "device uether"
33.Cd "device mos"
34.Ed
35.Pp
36Alternatively, to load the driver as a
37module at boot time, place the following line in
38.Xr loader.conf 5 :
39.Bd -literal -offset indent
40if_mos_load="YES"
41.Ed
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the
46Moschip MCS7730/MCS7830/MCS7832 chipset.
47.Pp
48The adapters that contain the Moschip MCS7730/MCS7830/MCS7832 chipset
49will operate at 100Base-TX and full-duplex.
50.Pp
51The Moschip contains a 10/100
52Ethernet MAC with MII interface and is designed to work with both
53Ethernet and HomePNA transceivers.
54Although designed to interface with
55100Mbps peripherals, this only works with USB 2.0. The existing USB 1.0
56standard specifies a maximum transfer speed of 12Mbps.
57USB 1.0 Users should therefore not expect to actually achieve 100Mbps speeds
58with these devices.
59.Pp
60The Moschip supports a 64-bit multicast hash table, single perfect
61filter entry for the station address and promiscuous mode.
62Packets are
63received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
64.Pp

66.Xr ifconfig 8 .
