10. NCM function
================

The function is provided by usb_f_ncm.ko module.

Function-specific configfs interface
------------------------------------

The function name to use when creating the function directory is "ncm".
The NCM function provides these attributes in its function directory:

	ifname		- network device interface name associated with this
			function instance
	qmult		- queue length multiplier for high and super speed
	host_addr	- MAC address of host's end of this
			Ethernet over USB link
	dev_addr	- MAC address of device's end of this
			Ethernet over USB link

and after creating the functions/ncm.<instance name> they contain default
values: qmult is 5, dev_addr and host_addr are randomly selected.
Except for ifname they can be written to until the function is linked to a
configuration. The ifname is read-only and contains the name of the interface
which was assigned by the net core, e. g. usb0.

Testing the NCM function
------------------------

Configure IP addresses of the device and the host. Then:

On the device: ping <host's IP>
On the host: ping <device's IP>
