 113           This driver supports several kinds of network links over USB,
 114           with "minidrivers" built around a common network driver core
 115           that supports deep queues for efficient transfers.  (This gives
 116           better performance with small packets and at high speeds).
 117
 118           The USB host runs "usbnet", and the other end of the link might be:
 119
 120           - Another USB host, when using USB "network" or "data transfer"
 121             cables.  These are often used to network laptops to PCs, like
 122             "Laplink" parallel cables or some motherboards.  These rely
 123             on specialized chips from many suppliers.
 124
 125           - An intelligent USB gadget, perhaps embedding a Linux system.
 126             These include PDAs running Linux (iPaq, Yopy, Zaurus, and
 127             others), and devices that interoperate using the standard
 128             CDC-Ethernet specification (including many cable modems).
 129
 130           - Network adapter hardware (like those for 10/100 Ethernet) which
 131             uses this driver framework.
 132
 133           The link will appear with a name like "usb0", when the link is
 134           a two-node link, or "eth0" for most CDC-Ethernet devices.  Those
 135           two-node links are most easily managed with Ethernet Bridging
 136           (CONFIG_BRIDGE) instead of routing.

 380           Avoid using this protocol unless you have no better options.
 381           The protocol specification is incomplete, and is controlled by

 394           that may mean not being able to talk to Win32 systems or more
 395           commonly not being able to handle certain events (like replugging
 396           the host on the other end) very well.  Also, these devices will
