+CONFIG_USB_CATC
+ 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 code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called catc.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_USB_CDCETHER
+ This driver supports devices conforming to the Communication Device
+ Class Ethernet Control Model. This is used in some cable modems.
+ For more details on the specification, get the Communication Device
+ Class specification from <http://www.usb.org/>.
+
+ This driver should work with the following devices:
+ * Ericsson PipeRider (all variants)
+ * Motorola (DM100 and SB4100)
+ * Broadcom Cable Modem (reference design)
+ * Toshiba PCX1100U and possibly other cable modems
+
+ The device creates a network device (ethX, where X depends on what
+ other networking devices you have in use), as for a normal PCI
+ or ISA based ethernet network card.
+
+ This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called cdc-ether.o. If you want to compile it
+ as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_USB_KAWETH
+ Say Y here if you want to use one of the following 10Mbps only
+ USB Ethernet adapters based on the KLSI KL5KUSB101B chipset:
+ 3Com 3C19250
+ ADS USB-10BT
+ ATEN USB Ethernet
+ ASANTE USB To Ethernet Adapter
+ AOX Endpoints USB Ethernet
+ Correga K.K.
+ D-Link DSB-650C and DU-E10
+ Entrega / Portgear E45
+ I-O DATA USB-ET/T
+ Jaton USB Ethernet Device Adapter
+ Kingston Technology USB Ethernet Adapter
+ Linksys USB10T
+ Mobility USB-Ethernet Adapter
+ NetGear EA-101
+ Peracom Enet and Enet2
+ Portsmith Express Ethernet Adapter
+ Shark Pocket Adapter
+ SMC 2202USB
+ Sony Vaio port extender
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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 code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called kaweth.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_USB_PEGASUS
+ Say Y here if you know you have Pegasus or Pegasus-II based adapter.
+ If in doubt then look at linux/drivers/usb/pegasus.h for the complete
+ list of supported devices.
+ If your particular adapter is not in the list and you are _sure_ it
+ is Pegasus or Pegasus II based then send me (petkan@users.sourceforge.net)
+ vendor and device IDs.
+
+ This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called pegasus.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_USB_RTL8150
+ Say Y here if you have RTL8150 based usb-ethernet adapter.
+ Send me (petkan@users.sourceforge.net) any comments you may have.
+ You can also check for updates at http://pegasus2.sourceforge.net/
+
+ This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called rtl8150.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
+
+CONFIG_USB_USBNET
+ This driver supports network links over USB with USB "Network"
+ or "data transfer" cables, often used to network laptops to PCs.
+ Such cables have chips from suppliers such as Belkin/eTEK, GeneSys
+ (GeneLink), NetChip and Prolific. Intelligent USB devices could also
+ use this approach to provide Internet access, using standard USB
+ cabling. You can find these chips also on some motherboards with
+ USB PC2PC support.
+
+ These links will have names like "usb0", "usb1", etc. They act
+ like two-node Ethernets, so you can use 802.1d Ethernet Bridging
+ (CONFIG_BRIDGE) to simplify your network routing.
+
+ This code is also available as a kernel module (code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called usbnet.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
