Add cdceem(4) driver, for virtual ethernet devices compliant
with Communication Device Class Ethernet Emulation Model (CDC EEM).
The driver supports both the device, and host side operation; there
is a new USB template (#11) for the former.

This enables communication with virtual USB NIC provided by iLO 5,
as found in new HPE Proliant servers.

.Sh NAME
.Nm cdceem
.Nd "USB Communication Device Class Ethernet Emulation Model (CDC EEM) 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 miibus"
.Cd "device uether"
.Cd "device cdceem"
.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_cdceem_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for USB devices based on the USB Communication
Device Class Ethernet Emulation Model (CDC EEM) specification.
.Pp
The driver works on both host, and device-side; see
.Xr usb_template 4
for details.
.Pp
The USB device 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
The
.Nm
driver does not support different media types or options.
.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
The following variables are available as both
.Xr sysctl 8
variables and
.Xr loader 8
tunables:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va hw.usb.cdceem.debug
Verbosity level for log messages from the
.Nm
driver.
Set to 0 to disable logging or 1 to warn about potential problems.
Larger values enable debugging output.
Defaults to 1.
.It Va hw.usb.cdceem.send_echoes
If set to 1, the driver will send an Echo EEM packet when the
interface is brought up.
While responding to Echo is mandatory, some devices cannot handle it.
Only use for debugging.
Defaults to 0.
.It Va 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.
