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

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