38.Nd "Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101B 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 kue"
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_kue_load="YES"
57.Ed
58.Sh DESCRIPTION
59The
60.Nm
61driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the Kawasaki
62LSI KL5KLUSB101B chipset.
63.Pp
64The KL5KLUSB101B supports a 128-entry multicast 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 Kawasaki chipset supports only 10Mbps half-duplex mode, hence there
70are no
71.Xr ifmedia 4
72modes to select.
73.Pp
74For more information on configuring this device, see
75.Xr ifconfig 8 .

117.Bl -diag
118.It "kue%d: watchdog timeout"
119A packet was queued for transmission and a transmit command was
120issued, however the device failed to acknowledge the transmission
121before a timeout expired.
122.It "kue%d: no memory for rx list"
123The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.

130.Sh HISTORY
131The
132.Nm
133device driver first appeared in
134.Fx 4.0 .
135.Sh AUTHORS
136The
137.Nm
138driver was written by
139.An Bill Paul Aq Mt wpaul@ee.columbia.edu .
140.Sh BUGS
141The
142.Nm
143driver does not accumulate Ethernet collisions statistics because the
144Kawasaki firmware does not appear to maintain any internal statistics.
