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.
- probe_phy=0|1
- Select whether or not to probe the PHY at regular intervals. For the
default value of 0, the PHY is polled
only at regular intervals when the interface is down or doesn't receive any
packets over the polling interval.
If you specify 1, the PHY is always probed at regular intervals
to see if the duplex and/or speed of the connection has changed.
- 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.
The devn-pegasus.so driver controls the SMC EZ Connect USB
Ethernet adapter and other USB Ethernet adapters based on the Pegasus
chipset.
Start io-net using the Pegasus driver and the full TCP/IP
stack:
io-net -d pegasus -p tcpip
ifconfig en0 10.184
- /dev/io-net
- The directory where, by default, drivers and protocol modules add
entries.
For more information, the documentation for
io-net.
Start the USB stack before using this driver (see
devu-ohci.so or devu-uhci.so)
