104 | This driver supports several kinds of network links over USB, | |
105 | with "minidrivers" built around a common network driver core | |
106 | that supports deep queues for efficient transfers. (This gives | |
107 | better performance with small packets and at high speeds). | |
090ffa9d | 108 | |
1da177e4 LT |
109 | The USB host runs "usbnet", and the other end of the link might be: |
110 | ||
111 | - Another USB host, when using USB "network" or "data transfer" | |
112 | cables. These are often used to network laptops to PCs, like | |
113 | "Laplink" parallel cables or some motherboards. These rely | |
114 | on specialized chips from many suppliers. | |
115 | ||
116 | - An intelligent USB gadget, perhaps embedding a Linux system. | |
117 | These include PDAs running Linux (iPaq, Yopy, Zaurus, and | |
118 | others), and devices that interoperate using the standard | |
119 | CDC-Ethernet specification (including many cable modems). | |
120 | ||
121 | - Network adapter hardware (like those for 10/100 Ethernet) which | |
122 | uses this driver framework. | |
123 | ||
124 | The link will appear with a name like "usb0", when the link is | |
125 | a two-node link, or "eth0" for most CDC-Ethernet devices. Those | |
126 | two-node links are most easily managed with Ethernet Bridging | |
127 | (CONFIG_BRIDGE) instead of routing. | |
