From 9f722c0978b04acba209f8ca1896ad05814bc3a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Omar Laazimani Date: Mon, 4 May 2009 12:01:43 -0700 Subject: usbnet: CDC EEM support (v5) This introduces a CDC Ethernet Emulation Model (EEM) host side driver to support USB EEM devices. EEM is different from the Ethernet Control Model (ECM) currently supported by the "CDC Ethernet" driver. One key difference is that it doesn't require of USB interface alternate settings to manage interface state; some maldesigned hardware can't handle that part of USB. It also avoids a separate USB interface for control and status updates.
