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).

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700109 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.
