To recover from this mode, one needs to flash a valid NVM image to the
host host controller in the same way it is done in the previous chapter.
+Networking over Thunderbolt cable
+---------------------------------
+Thunderbolt technology allows software communication across two hosts
+connected by a Thunderbolt cable.
+
+It is possible to tunnel any kind of traffic over Thunderbolt link but
+currently we only support Apple ThunderboltIP protocol.
+
+If the other host is running Windows or macOS only thing you need to
+do is to connect Thunderbolt cable between the two hosts, the
+``thunderbolt-net`` is loaded automatically. If the other host is also
+Linux you should load ``thunderbolt-net`` manually on one host (it does
+not matter which one)::
+
+ # modprobe thunderbolt-net
+
+This triggers module load on the other host automatically. If the driver
+is built-in to the kernel image, there is no need to do anything.
+
+The driver will create one virtual ethernet interface per Thunderbolt
+port which are named like ``thunderbolt0`` and so on. From this point
+you can either use standard userspace tools like ``ifconfig`` to
+configure the interface or let your GUI to handle it automatically.
++
+ Forcing power
+ -------------
+ Many OEMs include a method that can be used to force the power of a
+ thunderbolt controller to an "On" state even if nothing is connected.
+ If supported by your machine this will be exposed by the WMI bus with
+ a sysfs attribute called "force_power".
+
+ For example the intel-wmi-thunderbolt driver exposes this attribute in:
+ /sys/devices/platform/PNP0C14:00/wmi_bus/wmi_bus-PNP0C14:00/86CCFD48-205E-4A77-9C48-2021CBEDE341/force_power
+
+ To force the power to on, write 1 to this attribute file.
+ To disable force power, write 0 to this attribute file.
+
+ Note: it's currently not possible to query the force power state of a platform.
