CDCEEM(4)		 BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual		     CDCEEM(4)

NAME
     cdceem -- USB Communication Device	Class Ethernet Emulation Model (CDC
     EEM) 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 cdceem

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

	   if_cdceem_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The cdceem	driver provides	support	for USB	devices	based on the USB Com-
     munication	Device Class Ethernet Emulation	Model (CDC EEM)	specification.

     The driver	works on both host, and	device-side; see usb_template(4) for
     details.

     The USB device appears as a regular network interface on both sides,
     transporting Ethernet frames.

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

     The cdceem	driver does not	support	different media	types or options.

SYSCTL VARIABLES
     The following variables are available as both sysctl(8) variables and
     loader(8) tunables:

     hw.usb.cdceem.debug
	     Verbosity level for log messages from the cdceem driver.  Set to
	     0 to disable logging or 1 to warn about potential problems.
	     Larger values enable debugging output.  Defaults to 1.

     hw.usb.cdceem.send_echoes
	     If	set to 1, the driver will send an Echo EEM packet when the in-
	     terface is	brought	up.  While responding to Echo is mandatory,
	     some devices cannot handle	it.  Only use for debugging.  Defaults
	     to	0.

     hw.usb.cdceem.send_fake_crc
	     If	set to 1, the driver will use 0xdeadbeef as the	CRC value for
	     outgoing Data EEM packets.	 Only use for debugging.  Defaults to
	     0.
