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

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

This option enables hosting "Remote NDIS" USB networking links,
as encouraged by Microsoft (instead of CDC Ethernet!) for use in
various devices that may only support this protocol. A variant
of this protocol (with even less public documentation) seems to
be at the root of Microsoft's "ActiveSync" too.
Avoid using this protocol unless you have no better options.
The protocol specification is incomplete, and is controlled by

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

Linux-based "Gumstix" PXA-25x based systems use this protocol

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