 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).
 112
 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.

 369           This driver module supports USB network devices that can work
 370           without any device-specific information.  Select it if you have
 371           one of these drivers.
 372
 373           Note that while many USB host-to-host cables can work in this mode,
 374           that may mean not being able to talk to Win32 systems or more
 375           commonly not being able to handle certain events (like replugging
 376           the host on the other end) very well.  Also, these devices will
 377           not generally have permanently assigned Ethernet addresses.

 411           in some PXA versions of the "blob" boot loader.
 412
 413           Linux-based "Gumstix" PXA-25x based systems use this protocol
 414           to talk with other Linux systems.
 415
 416           Although the ROMs shipped with Sharp Zaurus products use a
 417           different link level framing protocol, you can have them use
 418           this simpler protocol by installing a different kernel.

 443           This also supports some related device firmware, as used in some
 444           PDAs from Olympus and some cell phones from Motorola.
 445
 446           If you install an alternate image, such as the Linux 2.6 based
 447           versions of OpenZaurus, you should no longer need to support this
 448           protocol.  Only the "eth-fd" or "net_fd" drivers in these devices
 449           really need this non-conformant variant of CDC Ethernet (or in
 450           some cases CDC MDLM) protocol, not "g_ether".

 546           called VL600.  This driver only handles the ethernet
 547           interface exposed by the modem firmware.  To establish a connection
 548           you will first need a userspace program that sends the right
 549           command to the modem through its CDC ACM port, and most
 550           likely also a DHCP client.  See this thread about using the
 551           4G modem from Verizon:
