 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).
 108
 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.
