99	---help---
100	  This driver supports several kinds of network links over USB,
101	  with "minidrivers" built around a common network driver core
102	  that supports deep queues for efficient transfers.  (This gives
103	  better performance with small packets and at high speeds).
104
105	  The USB host runs "usbnet", and the other end of the link might be:
106
107	  - Another USB host, when using USB "network" or "data transfer"
108	    cables.  These are often used to network laptops to PCs, like
109	    "Laplink" parallel cables or some motherboards.  These rely
110	    on specialized chips from many suppliers.
111
112	  - An intelligent USB gadget, perhaps embedding a Linux system.
113	    These include PDAs running Linux (iPaq, Yopy, Zaurus, and
114	    others), and devices that interoperate using the standard
115	    CDC-Ethernet specification (including many cable modems).
116
117	  - Network adapter hardware (like those for 10/100 Ethernet) which
118	    uses this driver framework.
119
120	  The link will appear with a name like "usb0", when the link is
121	  a two-node link, or "eth0" for most CDC-Ethernet devices.  Those
122	  two-node links are most easily managed with Ethernet Bridging
123	  (CONFIG_BRIDGE) instead of routing.
124
125	  For more information see <http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/>.
