DESCRIPTION¶
Theaxge
driver provides support for USB
Gigabit Ethernet adapters based on the ASIX Electronics AX88179 USB 3.0 and
AX88178A USB 2.0 chipsets.
The AX88179 and AX88178A contain a 10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC with a GMII
interface for interfacing with the Gigabit Ethernet PHY.
These devices will operate with both USB 1.x and USB 2.0 controllers, and the
AX88179 will operate with USB 3.0 controllers. Packets are received and
transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
The axge
driver supports the following media
types:
autoselect
- Enable autoselection of the media type and options. The user can manually override the autoselected mode by adding media options to rc.conf(5).

mediaopt
option can also be used to select eitherfull-duplex
orhalf-duplex
modes. 100baseTX
- Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation. The
ifconfig(8)
mediaopt
option can also be used to select eitherfull-duplex
orhalf-duplex
modes. 1000baseT
