DESCRIPTION
The kue driver provides support for USB Ethernet adapters based on the
Kawasaki LSI KL5KLUSB101B chipset.
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 chipset supports only 10Mbps half-duplex mode, hence there
are no ifmedia() modes to select.
For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

the Kawasaki firmware does not appear to maintain any internal
statistics.
