38.Nd "Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101B USB Ethernet driver"
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40To compile support for the
41.Nm
42driver into your kernel, place the following lines in your
43kernel configuration file:
44.Bd -ragged -offset indent
45.Cd "device uhci"
46.Cd "device ohci"
47.Cd "device usb"
48.Cd "device kue"
49.Ed
50.Pp
51Alternatively, to load the
52.Nm
53driver 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 .

115.Bl -diag
116.It "kue%d: watchdog timeout"

128.Sh HISTORY
129The
130.Nm
131device driver first appeared in
132.Fx 4.0 .
133.Sh AUTHORS
134The
135.Nm
136driver was written by
137.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@ee.columbia.edu .
138.Sh BUGS
139The
140.Nm
141driver does not accumulate Ethernet collisions statistics because the
142Kawasaki firmware does not appear to maintain any internal statistics.
