Add device driver support for USB ethernet adapters based on the CATC
USB-EL1202A chipset. Between this and the other two drivers, we should have support for pretty much every USB ethernet adapter on the market. The only other USB chip that I know of is the SMC USB97C196, and right now I don't know of any adapters that use it (including the ones made by SMC :/ ). Note that the CATC chip supports a nifty feature: read and write combining. This allows multiple ethernet packets to be transfered in a single USB bulk in/out transaction. However I'm again having trouble with large bulk in transfers like I did with the ADMtek chip, which leads me to believe that our USB stack needs some work before we can really make use of this feature. When/if things improve, I intend to revisit the aue and cue drivers. For now, I've lost enough sanity points.

+CATC USB-EL1201A USB Ethernet driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "controller uhci0"
+.Cd "controller ohci0"
+.Cd "controller usb0"
+.Cd "device cue0"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for USB ethernet adapters based on the Computer
+Access Technology Corporation's USB-EL1202A chipset, including the
+CATC Netmate and Netmate II, and the Belkin F5U111.
+.Pp
+The USB-EL1202A supports a 512-bit multicast hash filter, single perfect
+filter entry for the station address and promiscuous mode. Packets are
+received and transmitted over separate USB bulk transfer endpoints.
+.Pp
+The CATC adapter supports only 10mbps half-duplex mode, hence there
+are no
+.Xr ifmedia 4
+modes to select.
+.Pp
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "cue%d: 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 "cue%d: no memory for rx list"
+The driver failed to allocate an mbuf for the receiver ring.
