15 Say Y if you want to use one of the following 10Mbps USB Ethernet
16 device based on the EL1210A chip. Supported devices are:
17 Belkin F5U011
18 Belkin F5U111
19 CATC NetMate
20 CATC NetMate II
21 smartBridges smartNIC
22
23 This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,
24 typically on eth0, if it is the only ethernet device, or perhaps on
25 eth1, if you have a PCI or ISA ethernet card installed.

27 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
28 module will be called catc.

55 This driver is likely to work with most 10Mbps only USB Ethernet
56 adapters, including some "no brand" devices. It does NOT work on
57 SmartBridges smartNIC or on Belkin F5U111 devices - you should use
58 the CATC NetMate driver for those. If you are not sure which one
59 you need, select both, and the correct one should be selected for
60 you.

62 This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,

95config USB_USBNET
96 tristate "Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework"
97 ---help---
98 This driver supports several kinds of network links over USB,
99 with "minidrivers" built around a common network driver core
100 that supports deep queues for efficient transfers. (This gives
101 better performance with small packets and at high speeds).
102
103 The USB host runs "usbnet", and the other end of the link might be:
104
105 - Another USB host, when using USB "network" or "data transfer"
106 cables. These are often used to network laptops to PCs, like
107 "Laplink" parallel cables or some motherboards. These rely
108 on specialized chips from many suppliers.
109
110 - An intelligent USB gadget, perhaps embedding a Linux system.
111 These include PDAs running Linux (iPaq, Yopy, Zaurus, and
112 others), and devices that interoperate using the standard
113 CDC-Ethernet specification (including many cable modems).
114
115 - Network adapter hardware (like those for 10/100 Ethernet) which
116 uses this driver framework.
117
118 The link will appear with a name like "usb0", when the link is
119 a two-node link, or "eth0" for most CDC-Ethernet devices. Those
120 two-node links are most easily managed with Ethernet Bridging
121 (CONFIG_BRIDGE) instead of routing.
122
123 For more information see <http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/>.

175 help
176 This option supports devices conforming to the Communication Device
177 Class (CDC) Ethernet Control Model, a specification that's easy to
178 implement in device firmware. The CDC specifications are available
179 from <http://www.usb.org/>.
180
181 CDC Ethernet is an implementation option for DOCSIS cable modems
182 that support USB connectivity, used for non-Microsoft USB hosts.
183 The Linux-USB CDC Ethernet Gadget driver is an open implementation.
184 This driver should work with at least the following devices:
185
186 * Ericsson PipeRider (all variants)
187 * Motorola (DM100 and SB4100)
188 * Broadcom Cable Modem (reference design)
189 * Toshiba PCX1100U
190 * ...
191
192 This driver creates an interface named "ethX", where X depends on
193 what other networking devices you have in use. However, if the
194 IEEE 802 "local assignment" bit is set in the address, a "usbX"
195 name is used instead.

220 This option enables hosting "Remote NDIS" USB networking links,

222 various devices that may only support this protocol.
223
224 Avoid using this protocol unless you have no better options.
225 The protocol specification is incomplete, and is controlled by
226 (and for) Microsoft; it isn't an "Open" ecosystem or market.

233 without any device-specific information. Select it if you have
234 one of these drivers.
235
236 Note that while many USB host-to-host cables can work in this mode,
237 that may mean not being able to talk to Win32 systems or more
238 commonly not being able to handle certain events (like replugging
239 the host on the other end) very well. Also, these devices will
240 not generally have permanently assigned Ethernet addresses.

273 such as the SA-11x0 and PXA-25x UDCs, or the tftp capabilities
274 in some PXA versions of the "blob" boot loader.
275
276 Linux-based "Gumstix" PXA-25x based systems use this protocol
277 to talk with other Linux systems.

279 Although the ROMs shipped with Sharp Zaurus products use a
280 different link level framing protocol, you can have them use
281 this simpler protocol by installing a different kernel.

299 This also supports some related device firmware, as used in some
300 PDAs from Olympus and some cell phones from Motorola.
301
302 If you install an alternate ROM image, such as the Linux 2.6 based
303 versions of OpenZaurus, you should no longer need to support this
304 protocol. Only the "eth-fd" or "net_fd" drivers in these devices
305 really need this non-conformant variant of CDC Ethernet (or in
306 some cases CDC MDLM) protocol, not "g_ether".
