38.Nd "CATC USB-EL1210A USB Ethernet driver"
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40To compile this driver into the kernel,
41place the following lines in your
42kernel configuration file:
43.Bd -ragged -offset indent
44.Cd "device uhci"
45.Cd "device ohci"
46.Cd "device usb"
47.Cd "device miibus"
48.Cd "device uether"
49.Cd "device cue"
50.Ed
51.Pp
52Alternatively, to load the driver as a
53module at boot time, place the following line in
54.Xr loader.conf 5 :
55.Bd -literal -offset indent
56if_cue_load="YES"
57.Ed
58.Sh DESCRIPTION
59The
60.Nm
61driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the Computer
62Access Technology Corporation's USB-EL1210A chipset.
63.Pp
64The USB-EL1210A supports a 512-bit multicast hash filter, single perfect
65filter entry for the station address and promiscuous mode.
66Packets are
67received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
68.Pp
69The CATC chipset supports only 10Mbps half-duplex mode, hence there
70are no
71.Fn ifmedia
72modes to select.
73.Pp
74For more information on configuring this device, see
75.Xr ifconfig 8 .
76.Sh HARDWARE
77The

92.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
93.Bl -diag
94.It "cue%d: watchdog timeout"
95A packet was queued for transmission and a transmit command was
96issued, however the device failed to acknowledge the transmission
97before a timeout expired.
98.It "cue%d: no memory for rx list"
99The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
