NAME

       kue — Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101B USB Ethernet driver

SYNOPSIS

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

             device uhci
             device ohci
             device usb
             device miibus
             device uether
             device kue

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             if_kue_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

       The kue driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the Kawasaki LSI KL5KLUSB101B chipset.

       The  KL5KLUSB101B  supports  a  128-entry  multicast  filter, single perfect filter entry for the station
       address and promiscuous mode.  Packets are received and  transmitted  over  separate  USB  bulk  transfer
       endpoints.

       The  Kawasaki  chipset  supports  only  10Mbps  half-duplex  mode, hence there are no ifmedia(4) modes to
       select.

       For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

DIAGNOSTICS

       kue%d: watchdog timeout  A packet was queued for transmission and a transmit command was issued,  however
       the device failed to acknowledge the transmission before a timeout expired.

       kue%d: no memory for rx list  The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.

BUGS

       The  kue driver does not accumulate Ethernet collisions statistics because the Kawasaki firmware does not
       appear to maintain any internal statistics.
