 103           This driver supports several kinds of network links over USB,
 104           with "minidrivers" built around a common network driver core
 105           that supports deep queues for efficient transfers.  (This gives
 106           better performance with small packets and at high speeds).
 107
 108           The USB host runs "usbnet", and the other end of the link might be:
 109
 110           - Another USB host, when using USB "network" or "data transfer"
 111             cables.  These are often used to network laptops to PCs, like
 112             "Laplink" parallel cables or some motherboards.  These rely
 113             on specialized chips from many suppliers.
 114
 115           - An intelligent USB gadget, perhaps embedding a Linux system.
 116             These include PDAs running Linux (iPaq, Yopy, Zaurus, and
 117             others), and devices that interoperate using the standard
 118             CDC-Ethernet specification (including many cable modems).
 119
 120           - Network adapter hardware (like those for 10/100 Ethernet) which
 121             uses this driver framework.
 122
 123           The link will appear with a name like "usb0", when the link is
 124           a two-node link, or "eth0" for most CDC-Ethernet devices.  Those
 125           two-node links are most easily managed with Ethernet Bridging
 126           (CONFIG_BRIDGE) instead of routing.

 376           PDAs from Olympus and some cell phones from Motorola.

 378           If you install an alternate image, such as the Linux 2.6 based
 379           versions of OpenZaurus, you should no longer need to support this
 380           protocol.  Only the "eth-fd" or "net_fd" drivers in these devices
 381           really need this non-conformant variant of CDC Ethernet (or in
 382           some cases CDC MDLM) protocol, not "g_ether".

 480           you will first need a userspace program that sends the right
 481           command to the modem through its CDC ACM port, and most
 482           likely also a DHCP client.  See this thread about using the
