105 that supports deep queues for efficient transfers. (This gives

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700108 The USB host runs "usbnet", and the other end of the link might be:
109
110 - Another USB host, when using USB "network" or "data transfer"
111 cables. These are often used to network laptops to PCs, like
112 "Laplink" parallel cables or some motherboards. These rely
113 on specialized chips from many suppliers.
114
115 - An intelligent USB gadget, perhaps embedding a Linux system.
116 These include PDAs running Linux (iPaq, Yopy, Zaurus, and
117 others), and devices that interoperate using the standard
118 CDC-Ethernet specification (including many cable modems).
119
120 - Network adapter hardware (like those for 10/100 Ethernet) which
121 uses this driver framework.
122
123 The link will appear with a name like "usb0", when the link is
124 a two-node link, or "eth0" for most CDC-Ethernet devices. Those
125 two-node links are most easily managed with Ethernet Bridging
126 (CONFIG_BRIDGE) instead of routing.

429 This driver will only drive the ethernet part of the chips.
430 The devices require additional configuration to be usable.

432 available:
433
434 * option: AT commands on /dev/ttyUSBx
435 * cdc-wdm: Qualcomm MSM Interface (QMI) protocol on /dev/cdc-wdmx

493 select USB_ACM
494 help
495 Select this if you want to use an LG Electronics 4G/LTE usb modem
496 called VL600. This driver only handles the ethernet
497 interface exposed by the modem firmware. To establish a connection
498 you will first need a userspace program that sends the right
499 command to the modem through its CDC ACM port, and most
500 likely also a DHCP client. See this thread about using the
501 4G modem from Verizon:
