34 .Nd "RealTek RTL8150 USB to Fast Ethernet controller driver"
36 To compile this driver into the kernel,
37 place the following lines in your
38 kernel configuration file:
39 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
47 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
48 module at boot time, place the following line in
50 .Bd -literal -offset indent
56 driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the RealTek
57 RTL8150 USB to Fast Ethernet controller chip.
59 The RTL8150 contains an integrated Fast Ethernet MAC, which supports
60 both 10 and 100Mbps speeds in either full or half duplex.
61 Although designed to interface with
62 100Mbps peripheral, the existing USB standard specifies a maximum
63 transfer speed of 12Mbps.
64 Users should therefore not expect to actually
65 achieve 100Mbps speeds with this device.
69 driver supports the following media types:
70 .Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
72 Enable auto selection of the media type and options.
73 The user can manually override
74 the auto selected mode by adding media options to the
81 option can also be used to select either
87 Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
90 option can also be used to select either
99 driver supports the following media options:
100 .Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
102 Force full duplex operation.
104 Force half duplex operation.

128 A packet was queued for transmission and a transmit command was
129 issued, however the device failed to acknowledge the transmission
130 before a timeout expired.
131 .It "rue%d: rx list init failed"
132 The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the transmitter ring.
