cue - CATC USB-EL1210A USB Ethernet driver

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

device uhci
device ohci

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
