+.Sh NAME
+.Nm cdceem
+.Nd USB Communication Device Class Ethernet Emulation Model 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.
