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

388 config USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST
389 tristate "Host for RNDIS and ActiveSync devices"
390 depends on USB_USBNET
391 select USB_NET_CDCETHER
393 This option enables hosting "Remote NDIS" USB networking links,
394 as encouraged by Microsoft (instead of CDC Ethernet!) for use in
395 various devices that may only support this protocol. A variant
396 of this protocol (with even less public documentation) seems to
397 be at the root of Microsoft's "ActiveSync" too.
399 Avoid using this protocol unless you have no better options.
400 The protocol specification is incomplete, and is controlled by
401 (and for) Microsoft; it isn't an "Open" ecosystem or market.
403 config USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET_ENABLE
405 depends on USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
407 config USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
408 tristate "Simple USB Network Links (CDC Ethernet subset)"
409 depends on USB_USBNET
412 This driver module supports USB network devices that can work
413 without any device-specific information. Select it if you have
414 one of these drivers.
416 Note that while many USB host-to-host cables can work in this mode,
417 that may mean not being able to talk to Win32 systems or more
418 commonly not being able to handle certain events (like replugging
419 the host on the other end) very well. Also, these devices will
420 not generally have permanently assigned Ethernet addresses.
423 bool "ALi M5632 based 'USB 2.0 Data Link' cables"
424 depends on USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
425 select USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET_ENABLE

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

492 This also supports some related device firmware, as used in some
493 PDAs from Olympus and some cell phones from Motorola.
495 If you install an alternate image, such as the Linux 2.6 based
496 versions of OpenZaurus, you should no longer need to support this
497 protocol. Only the "eth-fd" or "net_fd" drivers in these devices
498 really need this non-conformant variant of CDC Ethernet (or in
499 some cases CDC MDLM) protocol, not "g_ether".
501 config USB_NET_CX82310_ETH
502 tristate "Conexant CX82310 USB ethernet port"
503 depends on USB_USBNET
505 Choose this option if you're using a Conexant CX82310-based ADSL

591 depends on USB_NET_CDCETHER && TTY
594 Select this if you want to use an LG Electronics 4G/LTE usb modem
595 called VL600. This driver only handles the ethernet
596 interface exposed by the modem firmware. To establish a connection
597 you will first need a userspace program that sends the right
598 command to the modem through its CDC ACM port, and most
599 likely also a DHCP client. See this thread about using the
