.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm cdce
|
|
.Nd "USB Communication Device Class Ethernet driver"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following lines in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device uhci"
|
|
.Cd "device ohci"
|
|
.Cd "device usb"
|
|
.Cd "device cdce"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
if_cdce_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for USB Host-to-Host (aka USB-to-USB) and
|
|
USB-to-Ethernet bridges based on the USB Communication Device Class
|
|
(CDC) and Ethernet subclass.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The USB bridge appears as a regular network interface on both sides,
|
|
transporting Ethernet frames.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For more information on configuring this device, see
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
USB 1.x bridges support speeds of up to 12Mbps, and USB 2.0 speeds of
|
|
up to 480Mbps.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Packets are
|
|
received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver does not support different media types or options.
|
|
.Sh HARDWARE
|
|
The following devices are supported by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver:

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
.Bl -diag
|
|
.It "cdce%d: no union descriptor"
|
|
The driver could not fetch an interface descriptor from the USB
|
|
device.
|
|
For a manually added USB vendor/product, the CDCE_NO_UNION flag
|
|
can be tried to work around the missing descriptor.
|
|
.It "cdce%d: no data interface"
|
|
.It "cdce%d: could not read endpoint descriptor"
|
|
.It "cdce%d: unexpected endpoint"
|
|
.It "cdce%d: could not find data bulk in/out"
|
|
For a manually added USB vendor/product, these errors indicate
|
|
that the bridge is not compatible with the driver.
|
|
.It "cdce%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.
|
|
.It "cdce%d: no memory for rx list -- packet dropped!"
|
|
Memory allocation through MGETHDR or MCLGET failed, the system
|
|
is running low on mbufs.
|
|
.It "cdce%d: abort/close rx/tx pipe failed"
|
|
.It "cdce%d: rx/tx list init failed"
|
|
.It "cdce%d: open rx/tx pipe failed"
|
|
.It "cdce%d: usb error on rx/tx"

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device driver first appeared in
|
|
.Ox 3.6 ,
|
|
.Nx 3.0
|
|
and
|
|
.Fx 6.0 .

.Sh AUTHORS

|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver was written by
|
|
.An Craig Boston Aq craig@tobuj.gank.org
|
|
based on the
|
|
.Xr aue 4
|
|
driver written by
|
|
.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@windriver.com
|
|
and ported to
|
|
.Ox
|
|
by

|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
Many USB devices notoriously fail to report their class and interfaces
|
|
correctly.
|
|
Undetected products might work flawlessly when their vendor and product IDs
|
|
are added to the driver manually.
