Which driver (like CONFIG_USB_USBNET) is related to this support?

Is EEM (Ethernet Emulation) regarding this support or not?

You need CONFIG_USB_USBNET together with whatever CONFIG_USB_NET_* module you need for your USB device.

The only thing I can find in my config that could match your EEM is CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_EEM but I don't have that enabled, that is another USB device that I don't own.

  • Your answer is very useful only for understanding about this clearly. But I want exact name like CONFIG_USB_USBNET for this Ethernet over USB support.

  • As I said, you need at least CONFIG_USB_USBNET and a device-specific module. If you enable all CONFIG_USB_NET_* als modules then your device should probably work. To be clear: there are many different USB network adapters, and hence many different kernel modules to support them. It might even be that your device isn't supported by Linux. I can't get any more "exact" than this.
