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).
090ffa9d 112
1da177e4
LT
113 The USB host runs "usbnet", and the other end of the link might be:
114
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.
119
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).
124
125 - Network adapter hardware (like those for 10/100 Ethernet) which
126 uses this driver framework.
127
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.

521 help
522 Select this if you want to use an LG Electronics 4G/LTE usb modem
523 called VL600. This driver only handles the ethernet
524 interface exposed by the modem firmware. To establish a connection
525 you will first need a userspace program that sends the right
526 command to the modem through its CDC ACM port, and most
527 likely also a DHCP client. See this thread about using the
528 4G modem from Verizon:
