David Brownell 38bde1d469 [PATCH] USB: usbnet (2/9) module for simple network links
This patch creates the first of several separate "minidriver" modules
for "usbnet".  This one handles only the very simplest hardware, which
can be handled almost entirely by the "usbnet" core.

    - Move device-specific bits into new "cdc_subset.c" driver,
      shrinking "usbnet" by a bunch;

    - Export the functions needed to support this minidriver
      (with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL);

    - Update Kconfig and kbuild accordingly.

This one handles about a dozen different device types, with the most
notable ones being Gumstix and most Linux-based PDAs (except Zaurus
running that ancient code from Sharp).

Say Y if you want to use one of the following 10Mbps USB Ethernet
device based on the EL1210A chip. Supported devices are:
Belkin F5U011
Belkin F5U111
CATC NetMate
CATC NetMate II
smartBridges smartNIC
This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,
typically on eth0, if it is the only ethernet device, or perhaps on
eth1, if you have a PCI or ISA ethernet card installed.

This driver is likely to work with most 10Mbps only USB Ethernet
adapters, including some "no brand" devices. It does NOT work on
SmartBridges smartNIC or on Belkin F5U111 devices - you should use
the CATC NetMate driver for those. If you are not sure which one
you need, select both, and the correct one should be selected for
you.

config USB_USBNET
tristate "Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework"
---help---
This driver supports several kinds of network links over USB,
with "minidrivers" built around a common network driver core
that supports deep queues for efficient transfers. (This gives
better performance with small packets and at high speeds).
The USB host runs "usbnet", and the other end of the link might be:
- Another USB host, when using USB "network" or "data transfer"
cables. These are often used to network laptops to PCs, like
"Laplink" parallel cables or some motherboards. These rely
on specialized chips from many suppliers.
- An intelligent USB gadget, perhaps embedding a Linux system.
These include PDAs running Linux (iPaq, Yopy, Zaurus, and
others), and devices that interoperate using the standard
CDC-Ethernet specification (including many cable modems).
- Network adapter hardware (like those for 10/100 Ethernet) which
uses this driver framework.
The link will appear with a name like "usb0", when the link is
a two-node link, or "eth0" for most CDC-Ethernet devices. Those
two-node links are most easily managed with Ethernet Bridging
(CONFIG_BRIDGE) instead of routing.
For more information see <http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/>.

module will be called usbnet.

default y
help
Choose this option to support the usb networking links used by
Zaurus models like the SL-5000D, SL-5500, SL-5600, A-300, B-500.
This also supports some related device firmware, as used in some
PDAs from Olympus and some cell phones from Motorola.
If you install an alternate ROM image, such as the Linux 2.6 based
versions of OpenZaurus, you should no longer need to support this
protocol. Only the "eth-fd" or "net_fd" drivers in these devices
really need this non-conformant variant of CDC Ethernet (or in
some cases CDC MDLM) protocol, not "g_ether".
config USB_CDCETHER
boolean "CDC Ethernet support (smart devices such as cable modems)"
depends on USB_USBNET
default y
help
This option supports devices conforming to the Communication Device
Class (CDC) Ethernet Control Model, a specification that's easy to
implement in device firmware. The CDC specifications are available
from <http://www.usb.org/>.
CDC Ethernet is an implementation option for DOCSIS cable modems
that support USB connectivity, used for non-Microsoft USB hosts.
The Linux-USB CDC Ethernet Gadget driver is an open implementation.
This driver should work with at least the following devices:
* Ericsson PipeRider (all variants)
* Motorola (DM100 and SB4100)
* Broadcom Cable Modem (reference design)
* Toshiba PCX1100U
* ...
This driver creates an interface named "ethX", where X depends on
what other networking devices you have in use. However, if the
IEEE 802 "local assignment" bit is set in the address, a "usbX"
name is used instead.

help
This driver module supports USB network devices that can work
without any device-specific information. Select it if you have
one of these drivers.
Note that while many USB host-to-host cables can work in this mode,
that may mean not being able to talk to Win32 systems or more
commonly not being able to handle certain events (like replugging
the host on the other end) very well. Also, these devices will
not generally have permanently assigned Ethernet addresses.

Linux-based "Gumstix" PXA-25x based systems use this protocol
to talk with other Linux systems.
Although the ROMs shipped with Sharp Zaurus products use a
different link level framing protocol, you can have them use
this simpler protocol by installing a different kernel.
