Ondrej Zary cc28a20e77 introduce cx82310_eth: Conexant CX82310-based ADSL router USB ethernet driver 
This patch introduces cx82310_eth driver - driver for USB ethernet port of
ADSL routers based on Conexant CX82310 chips. Such routers usually have
ethernet port(s) too which are bridged together with the USB ethernet port,
allowing the USB-connected machine to communicate to the network (and also
internet through the ADSL, of course).

This is my first driver, so please check thoroughly. As there's no protocol
documentation, it was done with usbsnoop dumps from Windows driver, some
parts (the commands) inspired by cxacru driver and also other usbnet drivers.
The driver passed my testing - some real work and also pings sized from 0 to
65507 B.

The only problem I found is the ifconfig error counter. When I return 0 (or 1
but empty skb) from rx_fixup(), usbnet increases the error counter although
it's not an error condition (because packets can cross URB boundaries). Maybe
the usbnet should be fixed to allow rx_fixup() to return empty skbs (or some
other value, e.g. 2)?

The USB ID of my device is 0x0572:0xcb01 which conflicts with some ADSL modems
using cxacru driver (they probably use the same chipset but simpler
firmware). The modems seem to use bDeviceClass 0 and iProduct "ADSL USB
MODEM", my router uses bDeviceClass 255 and iProduct "USB NET CARD". The
driver matches only devices with class 255 and checks for the iProduct string
during init. I already posted a patch for the cxacru driver to ignore these
devices.

you need, select both, and the correct one should be selected for
you.

config USB_USBNET
tristate "Multi-purpose USB Networking Framework"
select MII
---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.

This option enables hosting "Remote NDIS" USB networking links,
as encouraged by Microsoft (instead of CDC Ethernet!) for use in
various devices that may only support this protocol. A variant
of this protocol (with even less public documentation) seems to
be at the root of Microsoft's "ActiveSync" too.
Avoid using this protocol unless you have no better options.
The protocol specification is incomplete, and is controlled by
(and for) Microsoft; it isn't an "Open" ecosystem or market.

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.

in some PXA versions of the "blob" boot loader.
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.

Choose this option to support the usb networking links used by

PDAs from Olympus and some cell phones from Motorola.
If you install an alternate 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".
