| 28 | +.Sh NAME |
| 29 | +.Nm cdceem |
| 30 | +.Nd "USB Communication Device Class Ethernet Emulation Model (CDC EEM) driver" |
| 31 | +.Sh SYNOPSIS |
| 32 | +To compile this driver into the kernel, |
| 33 | +place the following lines in your |
| 34 | +kernel configuration file: |
| 35 | +.Bd -ragged -offset indent |
| 36 | +.Cd "device uhci" |
| 37 | +.Cd "device ohci" |
| 38 | +.Cd "device usb" |
| 39 | +.Cd "device miibus" |
| 40 | +.Cd "device uether" |
| 41 | +.Cd "device cdceem" |
| 42 | +.Ed |
| 43 | +.Pp |
| 44 | +Alternatively, to load the driver as a |
| 45 | +module at boot time, place the following line in |
| 46 | +.Xr loader.conf 5 : |
| 47 | +.Bd -literal -offset indent |

| 49 | +.Ed |
| 50 | +.Sh DESCRIPTION |
| 51 | +The |
| 52 | +.Nm |
| 53 | +driver provides support for USB devices based on the USB Communication |
| 54 | +Device Class Ethernet Emulation Model (CDC EEM) specification. |
| 55 | +.Pp |
| 56 | +The driver works on both host, and device-side; see |
| 57 | +.Xr usb_template 4 |
| 58 | +for details. |
| 59 | +.Pp |
| 60 | +The USB device appears as a regular network interface on both sides, |
| 61 | +transporting Ethernet frames. |
| 62 | +.Pp |
| 63 | +For more information on configuring this device, see |
| 64 | +.Xr ifconfig 8 . |
| 65 | +.Pp |
| 66 | +The |
| 67 | +.Nm |
| 68 | +driver does not support different media types or options. |
| 69 | +.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES |
| 70 | +The following variables are available as both |
| 71 | +.Xr sysctl 8 |
| 72 | +variables and |
| 73 | +.Xr loader 8 |
| 74 | +tunables: |
| 75 | +.Bl -tag -width indent |
| 76 | +.It Va hw.usb.cdceem.debug |
| 77 | +Verbosity level for log messages from the |
| 78 | +.Nm |
| 79 | +driver. |
| 80 | +Set to 0 to disable logging or 1 to warn about potential problems. |
| 81 | +Larger values enable debugging output. |
| 82 | +Defaults to 1. |
| 83 | +.It Va hw.usb.cdceem.send_echoes |
| 84 | +If set to 1, the driver will send an Echo EEM packet when the |
| 85 | +interface is brought up. |
| 86 | +While responding to Echo is mandatory, some devices cannot handle it. |
| 87 | +Only use for debugging. |
| 88 | +Defaults to 0. |
| 89 | +.It Va hw.usb.cdceem.send_fake_crc |
| 90 | +If set to 1, the driver will use 0xdeadbeef as the CRC value |
| 91 | +for outgoing Data EEM packets. |
| 92 | +Only use for debugging. |
| 93 | +Defaults to 0. |
