|  | 320 | Zaurus models like the SL-5000D, SL-5500, SL-5600, A-300, B-500. | 
|  | 321 | This also supports some related device firmware, as used in some |

| David Brownell | 0aa599c | 2005-08-31 09:53:58 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 325 | versions of OpenZaurus, you should no longer need to support this | 
|  | 326 | protocol.  Only the "eth-fd" or "net_fd" drivers in these devices | 
|  | 327 | really need this non-conformant variant of CDC Ethernet (or in | 
|  | 328 | some cases CDC MDLM) protocol, not "g_ether". |
