Elina Pasheva eb4fd8cd35 net/usb: add sierra_net.c driver
Re-submitted based on comments from netdev community.
Summary of the changes:
1. Improved error handling.
2. Added the missing timeout arguments to usb_control_msg().

The following is a new Linux driver which exposes certain models of Sierra
Wireless modems to the operating system as Network Interface Cards (NICs).

This driver requires a version of the sierra.c driver which supports
blacklisting to work properly. The blacklist in sierra.c rejects the interfaces
claimed by sierra_net.c. Likewise, the sierra_net.c driver only accepts
(i.e. whitelists) the interface(s) used for USB-to-WWAN traffic.
The version of sierra.c which supports blacklisting is
available from the sierra wireless knowledge base page for older kernels. It is
also available in Linux kernel starting from version 2.6.31.

This driver works with all Sierra Wireless devices configured with PID=68A3
like USB305, USB306 provided the corresponding firmware version is I2.0
(for USB305) or M3.0 (for USB306) and later.
This driver will not work with earlier firmware versions than the ones shown
above. In this case the driver will issue an error message indicating
incompatibility and will not serve the device's USB-to-WWAN interface.

Sierra_net.c sits atop a pre-existing Linux driver called usbnet.c.
A series of hook functions are provided in sierra_net.c which are called by
usbnet.c in response to a particular condition such as receipt or transmission
of a data packet. As such, usbnet.c does most of the work of making
a modem appear to the system as a network device and for properly exchanging
traffic between the USB subsystem and the Network card interface.
Sierra_net.c is concerned with managing the data exchanged between the
USB-to-WWAN interface and the upper layers of the operating system.

Diego Giagio a19259c3d5 drivers/net/usb: Add new driver ipheth
Add new driver to use tethering with an iPhone device. After initial submission,
apply fixes to fit the new driver into the kernel standards.

There are still a couple of minor (almost cosmetic-level) issues, but the driver
is fully functional right now.

Steve Glendinning d0cad87170 smsc75xx: SMSC LAN75xx USB gigabit ethernet adapter driver
This patch adds a driver for SMSC's LAN7500 family of USB 2.0
to gigabit ethernet adapters.  It's loosely based on the smsc95xx
driver but the device registers for LAN7500 are completely different.

Rémi Denis-Courmont 87cf65601e USB host CDC Phonet network interface driver
Many Nokia handsets support a Phonet interface to the cellular modem
via a vendor-specific USB interface. CDC Phonet follows the
Communications Device Class model, with one control interface, and
and a pair of inactive and active data alternative interface. The later
has two bulk endpoint, one per direction.

This was tested against Nokia E61, Nokia N95, and the existing Phonet
gadget function for the Linux composite USB gadget framework.

Omar Laazimani 9f722c0978 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.

Jeff Garzik 5b2fc49991 Move USB network drivers to drivers/net/usb.
It is preferable to group drivers by usage (net, scsi, ATA, ...) than
by bus.  When reviewing drivers, the [PCI|USB|PCMCIA|...] maintainer
is probably less qualified on networking issues than a networking
maintainer.  Also, from a practical standpoint, chips often
appear on multiple buses, which is why we do not put drivers into
drivers/pci/net.
