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

54 This driver is likely to work with most 10Mbps only USB Ethernet
55 adapters, including some "no brand" devices. It does NOT work on
56 SmartBridges smartNIC or on Belkin F5U111 devices - you should use
57 the CATC NetMate driver for those. If you are not sure which one
58 you need, select both, and the correct one should be selected for
61 This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,
62 typically on eth0, if it is the only ethernet device, or perhaps on
63 eth1, if you have a PCI or ISA ethernet card installed.
65 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
66 module will be called kaweth.
69 tristate "USB Pegasus/Pegasus-II based ethernet device support"
72 Say Y here if you know you have Pegasus or Pegasus-II based adapter.
73 If in doubt then look at <file:drivers/net/usb/pegasus.h> for the
74 complete list of supported devices.
76 If your particular adapter is not in the list and you are _sure_ it
77 is Pegasus or Pegasus II based then send me
78 <petkan@users.sourceforge.net> vendor and device IDs.
80 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
81 module will be called pegasus.
84 tristate "USB RTL8150 based ethernet device support"
87 Say Y here if you have RTL8150 based usb-ethernet adapter.
88 Send me <petkan@users.sourceforge.net> any comments you may have.
89 You can also check for updates at <http://pegasus2.sourceforge.net/>.
91 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
92 module will be called rtl8150.
95 tristate "Realtek RTL8152 Based USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapters"

99 10/100 Ethernet adapters.
101 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
102 module will be called r8152.
105 tristate "Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework"
108 This driver supports several kinds of network links over USB,
109 with "minidrivers" built around a common network driver core
110 that supports deep queues for efficient transfers. (This gives
111 better performance with small packets and at high speeds).
113 The USB host runs "usbnet", and the other end of the link might be:
115 - Another USB host, when using USB "network" or "data transfer"
116 cables. These are often used to network laptops to PCs, like
117 "Laplink" parallel cables or some motherboards. These rely
118 on specialized chips from many suppliers.
120 - An intelligent USB gadget, perhaps embedding a Linux system.
121 These include PDAs running Linux (iPaq, Yopy, Zaurus, and
122 others), and devices that interoperate using the standard
123 CDC-Ethernet specification (including many cable modems).
125 - Network adapter hardware (like those for 10/100 Ethernet) which
126 uses this driver framework.
128 The link will appear with a name like "usb0", when the link is
129 a two-node link, or "eth0" for most CDC-Ethernet devices. Those
130 two-node links are most easily managed with Ethernet Bridging
131 (CONFIG_BRIDGE) instead of routing.
133 For more information see <http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/>.
135 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
136 module will be called usbnet.

300 tristate "GeneSys GL620USB-A based cables"
301 depends on USB_USBNET
303 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable,
304 or PC2PC motherboard, with this chip.
306 Note that the half-duplex "GL620USB" is not supported.
308 config USB_NET_NET1080
309 tristate "NetChip 1080 based cables (Laplink, ...)"
311 depends on USB_USBNET
313 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable based
314 on this design: one NetChip 1080 chip and supporting logic,
315 optionally with LEDs that indicate traffic
318 tristate "Prolific PL-2301/2302/25A1 based cables"
319 # if the handshake/init/reset problems, from original 'plusb',
320 # are ever resolved ... then remove "experimental"

331 adapter based on the MosChip 7830 controller. This includes
332 adapters marketed under the DeLOCK brand.
334 config USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST
335 tristate "Host for RNDIS and ActiveSync devices"
336 depends on USB_USBNET
337 select USB_NET_CDCETHER
339 This option enables hosting "Remote NDIS" USB networking links,
340 as encouraged by Microsoft (instead of CDC Ethernet!) for use in
341 various devices that may only support this protocol. A variant
342 of this protocol (with even less public documentation) seems to
343 be at the root of Microsoft's "ActiveSync" too.
345 Avoid using this protocol unless you have no better options.
346 The protocol specification is incomplete, and is controlled by
347 (and for) Microsoft; it isn't an "Open" ecosystem or market.
349 config USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
350 tristate "Simple USB Network Links (CDC Ethernet subset)"
351 depends on USB_USBNET
354 This driver module supports USB network devices that can work
355 without any device-specific information. Select it if you have
356 one of these drivers.
358 Note that while many USB host-to-host cables can work in this mode,
359 that may mean not being able to talk to Win32 systems or more
360 commonly not being able to handle certain events (like replugging
361 the host on the other end) very well. Also, these devices will
362 not generally have permanently assigned Ethernet addresses.
365 boolean "ALi M5632 based 'USB 2.0 Data Link' cables"
366 depends on USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
368 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable
369 based on this design, which supports USB 2.0 high speed.
372 boolean "AnchorChips 2720 based cables (Xircom PGUNET, ...)"
373 depends on USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
375 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable
376 based on this design. Note that AnchorChips is now a
380 boolean "eTEK based host-to-host cables (Advance, Belkin, ...)"
381 depends on USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
384 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable
385 based on this design: two NetChip 2890 chips and an Atmel
386 microcontroller, with LEDs that indicate traffic.
389 boolean "Embedded ARM Linux links (iPaq, ...)"
390 depends on USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
393 Choose this option to support the "usb-eth" networking driver
394 used by most of the ARM Linux community with device controllers
395 such as the SA-11x0 and PXA-25x UDCs, or the tftp capabilities
396 in some PXA versions of the "blob" boot loader.
398 Linux-based "Gumstix" PXA-25x based systems use this protocol
399 to talk with other Linux systems.
401 Although the ROMs shipped with Sharp Zaurus products use a
402 different link level framing protocol, you can have them use
403 this simpler protocol by installing a different kernel.
406 boolean "Epson 2888 based firmware (DEVELOPMENT)"
407 depends on USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
409 Choose this option to support the usb networking links used
410 by some sample firmware from Epson.

414 depends on USB_NET_CDC_SUBSET
416 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable
417 with one of these chips.
419 config USB_NET_ZAURUS
420 tristate "Sharp Zaurus (stock ROMs) and compatible"
421 depends on USB_USBNET
422 select USB_NET_CDCETHER
426 Choose this option to support the usb networking links used by
427 Zaurus models like the SL-5000D, SL-5500, SL-5600, A-300, B-500.
428 This also supports some related device firmware, as used in some
429 PDAs from Olympus and some cell phones from Motorola.
431 If you install an alternate image, such as the Linux 2.6 based
432 versions of OpenZaurus, you should no longer need to support this
433 protocol. Only the "eth-fd" or "net_fd" drivers in these devices
434 really need this non-conformant variant of CDC Ethernet (or in
435 some cases CDC MDLM) protocol, not "g_ether".
437 config USB_NET_CX82310_ETH
438 tristate "Conexant CX82310 USB ethernet port"
439 depends on USB_USBNET
441 Choose this option if you're using a Conexant CX82310-based ADSL
442 router with USB ethernet port. This driver is for routers only,
443 it will not work with ADSL modems (use cxacru driver instead).

466 Multiple management interfaces with linux drivers are
469 * option: AT commands on /dev/ttyUSBx
470 * cdc-wdm: Qualcomm MSM Interface (QMI) protocol on /dev/cdc-wdmx
472 A modem manager with support for QMI is recommended.
474 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
475 module will be called qmi_wwan.
478 tristate "Option USB High Speed Mobile Devices"
479 depends on USB && RFKILL && TTY
482 Choose this option if you have an Option HSDPA/HSUPA card.
483 These cards support downlink speeds of 7.2Mbps or greater.
485 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
486 module will be called hso.
488 config USB_NET_INT51X1
489 tristate "Intellon PLC based usb adapter"
490 depends on USB_USBNET
492 Choose this option if you're using a 14Mb USB-based PLC
493 (Powerline Communications) solution with an Intellon

509 iPhone (Original, 3G and 3GS) to your system.
510 Note that you need userspace libraries and programs that are needed
511 to pair your device with your system and that understand the iPhone
514 For more information: http://giagio.com/wiki/moin.cgi/iPhoneEthernetDriver
516 config USB_SIERRA_NET
517 tristate "USB-to-WWAN Driver for Sierra Wireless modems"
518 depends on USB_USBNET
520 Choose this option if you have a Sierra Wireless USB-to-WWAN device.
522 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
523 module will be called sierra_net.
526 tristate "LG VL600 modem dongle"
527 depends on USB_NET_CDCETHER && TTY
530 Select this if you want to use an LG Electronics 4G/LTE usb modem
531 called VL600. This driver only handles the ethernet
532 interface exposed by the modem firmware. To establish a connection
533 you will first need a userspace program that sends the right
534 command to the modem through its CDC ACM port, and most
535 likely also a DHCP client. See this thread about using the
536 4G modem from Verizon:
