+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "cdce* at uhub?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for USB Host-to-Host (aka USB-to-USB) bridges
+based on the USB Communication Device Class (CDC) and Ethernet subclass,
+including the following:

+.Pp
+The USB bridge appears as a regular network interface on both sides,
+transporting Ethernet frames.
+USB 1.x bridges support speeds of up to 12Mbps, and USB 2.0 speeds of
+up to 480Mbps.
+Packets are
+received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver does not support different media types or options.
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "cdce0: extra ethernet descriptor"
+There is more than one Ethernet descriptor.
+.It "cdce0: no data interface"
+The data interface announced by the union descriptor cannot be found.
+.It "cdce0: no descriptor for interrupt endpoint N"
+.It "cdce0: interface alternate setting N failed"
+.It "cdce0: no descriptor for bulk endpoint N"
+.It "cdce0: could not find data bulk in/out"
+For a manually added USB vendor/product, these errors indicate
+that the bridge is not compatible with the driver.
+.It "cdce0: 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.
+.It "cdce0: no memory for rx list -- packet dropped!"
+Memory allocation through MGETHDR or MCLGET failed, the system
+is running low on mbufs.
+.It "cdce0: abort/close rx/tx/interrupt pipe failed"
+.It "cdce0: rx/tx list init failed"
+.It "cdce0: open rx/tx/interrupt pipe failed"
+.It "cdce0: usb error on rx/tx"

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+device driver first appeared in
+.Ox 3.6 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An -nosplit
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Craig Boston Aq Mt craig@tobuj.gank.org
+based on the
+.Xr aue 4
+driver written by
+.An Bill Paul Aq Mt wpaul@windriver.com
+and ported to
+.Ox
+by
+.An Daniel Hartmeier Aq Mt dhartmei@openbsd.org .
+.Sh CAVEATS
+Many USB devices notoriously fail to report their class and interfaces
+correctly.
+Undetected products might work flawlessly when their vendor and product IDs
+are added to the driver manually.
