31.Sh NAME
32.Nm ure
33.Nd "RealTek RTL8152 USB to Fast Ethernet controller driver"
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35To compile this driver into the kernel,
36place the following lines in your
37kernel configuration file:
38.Bd -ragged -offset indent
39.Cd "device uhci"
40.Cd "device ohci"
41.Cd "device usb"
42.Cd "device miibus"
43.Cd "device uether"
44.Cd "device ure"
45.Ed
46.Pp
47Alternatively, to load the driver as a
48module at boot time, place the following line in
49.Xr loader.conf 5 :
50.Bd -literal -offset indent
51if_ure_load="YES"
52.Ed
53.Sh DESCRIPTION
54The
55.Nm
56driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the RealTek
57RTL8152 USB to Fast Ethernet controller chip.
58.Pp
59The RTL8152 contains an integrated Fast Ethernet MAC, which supports
60both 10 and 100Mbps speeds in either full or half duplex.
61.Pp
62The
63.Nm
64driver supports the following media types:
65.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
66.It Cm autoselect
67Enable auto selection of the media type and options.
68The user can manually override
69the auto selected mode by adding media options to the
70.Pa /etc/rc.conf
71file.
72.It Cm 10baseT/UTP
73Set 10Mbps operation.
74The
75.Cm mediaopt
76option can also be used to select either
77.Cm full-duplex
78or
79.Cm half-duplex
80modes.
81.It Cm 100baseTX
82Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
83The
84.Cm mediaopt
85option can also be used to select either
86.Cm full-duplex
87or
88.Cm half-duplex
89modes.
90.El
