where variant is one of v4, v4-hc, or v6-hc.

Runs on:

Neutrino

Options:

None

Description:

The devnp-axe.so driver supports USB (2.0) Ethernet adapters based on the ASIX AX88172 chip. This is a ported NetBSD driver; its interface names are in the form axeX, where X is an integer.

The chip contains a 10/100 Ethernet MAC with MII interface and is designed to work with both Ethernet and HomePNA transceivers. The chip also supports USB 2.0, thereby accommodating 100 Mb/s data rates.

The devnp-axe.so driver supports the following media types:

autoselect

Enable automatic selection of the media type and options.

10baseT/UTP

Set 10Mbps operation. You can also use the mediaopt option to enable full-duplex operation. Not specifying full duplex implies half-duplex mode.

100baseTX

Set 100Mbps (fast Ethernet) operation. You can also use the mediaopt option to enable full-duplex operation. Not specifying full duplex implies half-duplex mode.

The devnp-axe.so driver supports the following media options:

full-duplex

Force full-duplex operation. The interface operates in half-duplex mode if you don't specify this media option.
