DESCRIPTION¶
The
cue
driver provides support for USB
Ethernet adapters based on the Computer Access Technology Corporation's
USB-EL1210A chipset.
The USB-EL1210A supports a 512-bit multicast hash filter, single perfect filter
entry for the station address and promiscuous mode. Packets are received and
transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
The CATC 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).
HARDWARE¶
The
cue
driver supports CATC USB-EL1210A
based USB Ethernet adapters including:
- Belkin F5U011/F5U111
- CATC Netmate
- CATC Netmate II
- SmartBridges SmartLink
DIAGNOSTICS¶
- cue%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.
- cue%d: no memory for rx list
- The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
