27 This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,
28 typically on eth0, if it is the only ethernet device, or perhaps on
29 eth1, if you have a PCI or ISA ethernet card installed.

63 you need, select both, and the correct one should be selected for

126 module will be called lan78xx.
129 tristate "Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework"
132 This driver supports several kinds of network links over USB,
133 with "minidrivers" built around a common network driver core
134 that supports deep queues for efficient transfers. (This gives
135 better performance with small packets and at high speeds).
137 The USB host runs "usbnet", and the other end of the link might be:
139 - Another USB host, when using USB "network" or "data transfer"
140 cables. These are often used to network laptops to PCs, like
141 "Laplink" parallel cables or some motherboards. These rely
142 on specialized chips from many suppliers.
144 - An intelligent USB gadget, perhaps embedding a Linux system.
145 These include PDAs running Linux (iPaq, Yopy, Zaurus, and
146 others), and devices that interoperate using the standard
147 CDC-Ethernet specification (including many cable modems).
149 - Network adapter hardware (like those for 10/100 Ethernet) which
150 uses this driver framework.
152 The link will appear with a name like "usb0", when the link is
153 a two-node link, or "eth0" for most CDC-Ethernet devices. Those
154 two-node links are most easily managed with Ethernet Bridging
155 (CONFIG_BRIDGE) instead of routing.

160 module will be called usbnet.

218 Class (CDC) Ethernet Control Model, a specification that's easy to
219 implement in device firmware. The CDC specifications are available
220 from <http://www.usb.org/>.
222 CDC Ethernet is an implementation option for DOCSIS cable modems
223 that support USB connectivity, used for non-Microsoft USB hosts.

237 IEEE 802 "local assignment" bit is set in the address, a "usbX"
238 name is used instead.

300 protocol defined by the MBIM specification. This driver
301 provides unfiltered access to the MBIM control channel
302 through the associated /dev/cdc-wdmx character device.

325 depends on USB_USBNET
328 Say Y if you want to use one of the following 100Mbps USB Ethernet
329 device based on the CoreChip-sz SR9800 chip.
331 This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,

333 eth1, if you have a PCI or ISA ethernet card installed.

398 select USB_NET_CDCETHER
400 This option enables hosting "Remote NDIS" USB networking links,
401 as encouraged by Microsoft (instead of CDC Ethernet!) for use in
402 various devices that may only support this protocol. A variant
403 of this protocol (with even less public documentation) seems to
404 be at the root of Microsoft's "ActiveSync" too.
406 Avoid using this protocol unless you have no better options.
407 The protocol specification is incomplete, and is controlled by
408 (and for) Microsoft; it isn't an "Open" ecosystem or market.

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

457 bool "Embedded ARM Linux links (iPaq, ...)"
458 depends on USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
459 select USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET_ENABLE
462 Choose this option to support the "usb-eth" networking driver
463 used by most of the ARM Linux community with device controllers
464 such as the SA-11x0 and PXA-25x UDCs, or the tftp capabilities
465 in some PXA versions of the "blob" boot loader.
467 Linux-based "Gumstix" PXA-25x based systems use this protocol
468 to talk with other Linux systems.
470 Although the ROMs shipped with Sharp Zaurus products use a
471 different link level framing protocol, you can have them use
472 this simpler protocol by installing a different kernel.
475 bool "Epson 2888 based firmware (DEVELOPMENT)"
476 depends on USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
477 select USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET_ENABLE

499 This also supports some related device firmware, as used in some
500 PDAs from Olympus and some cell phones from Motorola.
502 If you install an alternate image, such as the Linux 2.6 based
503 versions of OpenZaurus, you should no longer need to support this
504 protocol. Only the "eth-fd" or "net_fd" drivers in these devices
505 really need this non-conformant variant of CDC Ethernet (or in
506 some cases CDC MDLM) protocol, not "g_ether".

509 tristate "Conexant CX82310 USB ethernet port"
510 depends on USB_USBNET
512 Choose this option if you're using a Conexant CX82310-based ADSL

602 called VL600. This driver only handles the ethernet
603 interface exposed by the modem firmware. To establish a connection
604 you will first need a userspace program that sends the right
