i see a similar response from ifconfig when using an ADMTEK AN986 USB
Ethernet device with HomePNA. i've submitted patch if_aue.c at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/61300 but it works only on
4.9-RELEASE. with 4.10-RELEASE (and thus -STABLE), that patch won't work
anymore. if anyone wants the updated patch for 4.10 and STABLE, let me
know.

nevertheless, to get back to the point, the device in both HomePNA media
and Ethernet media works fine without crashing, though ifconfig produces
the same output you see.
