11 tristate "USB CATC NetMate-based Ethernet device support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
12 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
15 Say Y if you want to use one of the following 10Mbps USB Ethernet
16 device based on the EL1210A chip. Supported devices are:
23 This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,
24 typically on eth0, if it is the only ethernet device, or perhaps on
25 eth1, if you have a PCI or ISA ethernet card installed.
27 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
28 module will be called catc.
31 tristate "USB KLSI KL5USB101-based ethernet device support"
33 Say Y here if you want to use one of the following 10Mbps only
34 USB Ethernet adapters based on the KLSI KL5KUSB101B chipset:
38 ASANTE USB To Ethernet Adapter
39 AOX Endpoints USB Ethernet
41 D-Link DSB-650C and DU-E10
42 Entrega / Portgear E45
44 Jaton USB Ethernet Device Adapter
45 Kingston Technology USB Ethernet Adapter
47 Mobility USB-Ethernet Adapter
49 Peracom Enet and Enet2
50 Portsmith Express Ethernet Adapter
53 Sony Vaio port extender
55 This driver is likely to work with most 10Mbps only USB Ethernet
56 adapters, including some "no brand" devices. It does NOT work on
57 SmartBridges smartNIC or on Belkin F5U111 devices - you should use
58 the CATC NetMate driver for those. If you are not sure which one
59 you need, select both, and the correct one should be selected for
62 This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,
63 typically on eth0, if it is the only ethernet device, or perhaps on
64 eth1, if you have a PCI or ISA ethernet card installed.
66 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
67 module will be called kaweth.
70 tristate "USB Pegasus/Pegasus-II based ethernet device support"
73 Say Y here if you know you have Pegasus or Pegasus-II based adapter.
74 If in doubt then look at <file:drivers/usb/net/pegasus.h> for the
75 complete list of supported devices.
77 If your particular adapter is not in the list and you are _sure_ it
78 is Pegasus or Pegasus II based then send me
79 <petkan@users.sourceforge.net> vendor and device IDs.
81 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
82 module will be called pegasus.
85 tristate "USB RTL8150 based ethernet device support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
86 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
88 Say Y here if you have RTL8150 based usb-ethernet adapter.
89 Send me <petkan@users.sourceforge.net> any comments you may have.
90 You can also check for updates at <http://pegasus2.sourceforge.net/>.
92 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
93 module will be called rtl8150.
96 tristate "Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework"
98 This driver supports several kinds of network links over USB,
99 with "minidrivers" built around a common network driver core
100 that supports deep queues for efficient transfers. (This gives
101 better performance with small packets and at high speeds).
103 The USB host runs "usbnet", and the other end of the link might be:
105 - Another USB host, when using USB "network" or "data transfer"
106 cables. These are often used to network laptops to PCs, like
107 "Laplink" parallel cables or some motherboards. These rely
108 on specialized chips from many suppliers.
110 - An intelligent USB gadget, perhaps embedding a Linux system.
111 These include PDAs running Linux (iPaq, Yopy, Zaurus, and
112 others), and devices that interoperate using the standard
113 CDC-Ethernet specification (including many cable modems).
115 - Network adapter hardware (like those for 10/100 Ethernet) which
116 uses this driver framework.
118 The link will appear with a name like "usb0", when the link is
119 a two-node link, or "eth0" for most CDC-Ethernet devices. Those
120 two-node links are most easily managed with Ethernet Bridging
121 (CONFIG_BRIDGE) instead of routing.
123 For more information see <http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/>.
125 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
126 module will be called usbnet.
128 comment "USB Host-to-Host Cables"
129 depends on USB_USBNET
132 boolean "ALi M5632 based 'USB 2.0 Data Link' cables"
133 depends on USB_USBNET
136 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable
137 based on this design, which supports USB 2.0 high speed.
140 boolean "AnchorChips 2720 based cables (Xircom PGUNET, ...)"
141 depends on USB_USBNET
144 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable
145 based on this design. Note that AnchorChips is now a
149 boolean "eTEK based host-to-host cables (Advance, Belkin, ...)"
150 depends on USB_USBNET
153 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable
154 based on this design: two NetChip 2890 chips and an Atmel
155 microcontroller, with LEDs that indicate traffic.
158 boolean "GeneSys GL620USB-A based cables"
160 depends on USB_USBNET
162 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable,
163 or PC2PC motherboard, with this chip.
165 Note that the half-duplex "GL620USB" is not supported.
168 boolean "NetChip 1080 based cables (Laplink, ...)"
170 depends on USB_USBNET
172 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable based
173 on this design: one NetChip 1080 chips and supporting logic,
174 supporting LEDs that indicate traffic
177 boolean "Prolific PL-2301/2302 based cables"
179 # handshake/init/reset problems, from original 'plusb' driver
180 depends on USB_USBNET && EXPERIMENTAL
182 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable
183 with one of these chips.
186 boolean "KT Technology KC2190 based cables (InstaNet)"
188 depends on USB_USBNET && EXPERIMENTAL
190 Choose this option if you're using a host-to-host cable
191 with one of these chips.
193 comment "Intelligent USB Devices/Gadgets"
194 depends on USB_USBNET
197 boolean "Embedded ARM Linux links (iPaq, ...)"
198 depends on USB_USBNET
201 Choose this option to support the "usb-eth" networking driver
202 used by most of the ARM Linux community with device controllers
203 such as the SA-11x0 and PXA-25x UDCs, or the tftp capabilities
204 in some PXA versions of the "blob" boot loader.
206 Linux-based "Gumstix" PXA-25x based systems use this protocol
207 to talk with other Linux systems.
209 Although the ROMs shipped with Sharp Zaurus products use a
210 different link level framing protocol, you can have them use
211 this simpler protocol by installing a different kernel.
214 boolean "Epson 2888 based firmware (DEVELOPMENT)"
215 depends on USB_USBNET
218 Choose this option to support the usb networking links used
219 by some sample firmware from Epson.
222 boolean "Sharp Zaurus (stock ROMs) and compatible"
223 depends on USB_USBNET
227 Choose this option to support the usb networking links used by
228 Zaurus models like the SL-5000D, SL-5500, SL-5600, A-300, B-500.
229 This also supports some related device firmware, as used in some
230 PDAs from Olympus and some cell phones from Motorola.
232 If you install an alternate ROM image, such as the Linux 2.6 based
233 versions of OpenZaurus, you should no longer need to support this
234 protocol. Only the "eth-fd" or "net_fd" drivers in these devices
235 really need this non-conformant variant of CDC Ethernet (or in
236 some cases CDC MDLM) protocol, not "g_ether".
239 boolean "CDC Ethernet support (smart devices such as cable modems)"
240 depends on USB_USBNET
243 This option supports devices conforming to the Communication Device
244 Class (CDC) Ethernet Control Model, a specification that's easy to
245 implement in device firmware. The CDC specifications are available
246 from <http://www.usb.org/>.
248 CDC Ethernet is an implementation option for DOCSIS cable modems
249 that support USB connectivity, used for non-Microsoft USB hosts.
250 This driver should work with at least the following devices:
252 * Ericsson PipeRider (all variants)
253 * Motorola (DM100 and SB4100)
254 * Broadcom Cable Modem (reference design)
258 This driver creates an interface named "ethX", where X depends on
259 what other networking devices you have in use. However, if the
260 IEEE 802 "local assignment" bit is set in the address, a "usbX"
261 name is used instead.
263 comment "USB Network Adapters"
264 depends on USB_USBNET
267 boolean "ASIX AX88xxx Based USB 2.0 Ethernet Devices"
268 depends on USB_USBNET && NET_ETHERNET
273 This option adds support for ASIX AX88xxx based USB 2.0
274 10/100 Ethernet devices.
276 This driver should work with at least the following devices:
279 * Billionton Systems, USB2AR
281 * Corega FEther USB2-TX
287 * Intellinet USB 2.0 Ethernet
288 * ST Lab USB 2.0 Ethernet
291 This driver creates an interface named "ethX", where X depends on
292 what other networking devices you have in use.
295 tristate "USB ZD1201 based Wireless device support"
299 Say Y if you want to use wireless LAN adapters based on the ZyDAS
302 This driver makes the adapter appear as a normal Ethernet interface,
305 The zd1201 device requires external firmware to be loaded.
306 This can be found at http://linux-lc100020.sourceforge.net/
308 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
309 module will be called zd1201.
