The KL5KLUSB101B supports a 128-entry multicast filter, single perfect
filter entry for the station address and promiscuous mode. Packets are
received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
The Kawasaki adapter 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).
FILES
The driver needs a firmware file, which is loaded on demand when the
device is attached:
/etc/firmware/kue
DIAGNOSTICS
kue0: 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.
kue0: no memory for rx list The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for
the receiver ring.

HISTORY
The kue device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.0. OpenBSD support was
added in OpenBSD 2.7.
AUTHORS
The kue driver was written by Bill Paul <
[email protected]> and
ported to OpenBSD by Aaron Campbell <
[email protected]>.
BUGS
The kue driver does not accumulate Ethernet collisions statistics because
the Kawasaki firmware does not appear to maintain any internal
statistics.
