18 Say Y if you want to use one of the following 10Mbps USB Ethernet
19 device based on the EL1210A chip. Supported devices are:
26 This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,
27 typically on eth0, if it is the only ethernet device, or perhaps on
28 eth1, if you have a PCI or ISA ethernet card installed.
30 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
31 module will be called catc.

58 This driver is likely to work with most 10Mbps only USB Ethernet
59 adapters, including some "no brand" devices. It does NOT work on
60 SmartBridges smartNIC or on Belkin F5U111 devices - you should use
61 the CATC NetMate driver for those. If you are not sure which one
62 you need, select both, and the correct one should be selected for
65 This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,
66 typically on eth0, if it is the only ethernet device, or perhaps on

116 & USB 3 10/100/1000 Ethernet adapters.
118 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
119 module will be called lan78xx.
122 tristate "Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework"
125 This driver supports several kinds of network links over USB,
126 with "minidrivers" built around a common network driver core
127 that supports deep queues for efficient transfers. (This gives
128 better performance with small packets and at high speeds).
130 The USB host runs "usbnet", and the other end of the link might be:
132 - Another USB host, when using USB "network" or "data transfer"
133 cables. These are often used to network laptops to PCs, like
134 "Laplink" parallel cables or some motherboards. These rely
135 on specialized chips from many suppliers.
137 - An intelligent USB gadget, perhaps embedding a Linux system.
138 These include PDAs running Linux (iPaq, Yopy, Zaurus, and
139 others), and devices that interoperate using the standard
140 CDC-Ethernet specification (including many cable modems).
142 - Network adapter hardware (like those for 10/100 Ethernet) which
143 uses this driver framework.
145 The link will appear with a name like "usb0", when the link is
146 a two-node link, or "eth0" for most CDC-Ethernet devices. Those
147 two-node links are most easily managed with Ethernet Bridging
148 (CONFIG_BRIDGE) instead of routing.
150 For more information see <http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/>.
152 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

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

434 based on this design: two NetChip 2890 chips and an Atmel
435 microcontroller, with LEDs that indicate traffic.
438 bool "Embedded ARM Linux links (iPaq, ...)"
439 depends on USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
442 Choose this option to support the "usb-eth" networking driver
443 used by most of the ARM Linux community with device controllers
444 such as the SA-11x0 and PXA-25x UDCs, or the tftp capabilities
445 in some PXA versions of the "blob" boot loader.
447 Linux-based "Gumstix" PXA-25x based systems use this protocol
448 to talk with other Linux systems.
450 Although the ROMs shipped with Sharp Zaurus products use a
451 different link level framing protocol, you can have them use
452 this simpler protocol by installing a different kernel.
455 bool "Epson 2888 based firmware (DEVELOPMENT)"
456 depends on USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
458 Choose this option to support the usb networking links used
459 by some sample firmware from Epson.

478 PDAs from Olympus and some cell phones from Motorola.
480 If you install an alternate image, such as the Linux 2.6 based
481 versions of OpenZaurus, you should no longer need to support this
482 protocol. Only the "eth-fd" or "net_fd" drivers in these devices
483 really need this non-conformant variant of CDC Ethernet (or in
484 some cases CDC MDLM) protocol, not "g_ether".
486 config USB_NET_CX82310_ETH
487 tristate "Conexant CX82310 USB ethernet port"
488 depends on USB_USBNET
490 Choose this option if you're using a Conexant CX82310-based ADSL
491 router with USB ethernet port. This driver is for routers only,
492 it will not work with ADSL modems (use cxacru driver instead).
