The following reply was made to PR usb/108097; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Volker <volker@vwsoft.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, numisemis@yahoo.com Cc: Subject: Re: usb/108097: [usbgen] [patch] ADMtek 851X USB-to-LAN adapter Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2007 14:47:57 +0100 > +product ADMTEK PEGASUSII_3 0x8515 AN8515 Ethernet Simun: Did you try your patch and did you get if_aue to work with that NIC? I've seen a similar patch for NetBSD, but yesterday I tried a similar NIC (vid 0x0a46, pid 0x8515) and after patching if_aue for this vid/pid, the driver fails to initialize with MII read timeout problems. If it's really an ADMtek 8515 chipset, it will be detected but it might not work or adapters using the same chip differ in behavior. As I've googled for some hours I figured out the same problems have been experienced by some Linux users and a patch for initialising the card and getting the MAC address was needed. The datasheet for this chip (and other ADMtek chips) is available at http://www.infineon.com. The original website of admtek is obsolete (even finding the datasheet has been difficult).
