15 Say Y if you want to use one of the following 10Mbps USB Ethernet
16 device based on the EL1210A chip. Supported devices are:
17 Belkin F5U011
18 Belkin F5U111
19 CATC NetMate
20 CATC NetMate II
21 smartBridges smartNIC

23 This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,
24 typically on eth0, if it is the only ethernet device, or perhaps on
25 eth1, if you have a PCI or ISA ethernet card installed.

56 adapters, including some "no brand" devices. It does NOT work on
57 SmartBridges smartNIC or on Belkin F5U111 devices - you should use

103 ---help---
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.

173 CDC Ethernet is an implementation option for DOCSIS cable modems
174 that support USB connectivity, used for non-Microsoft USB hosts.
