+Date: May 2014
+KernelVersion: 3.16
+Contact: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no>
+Description:
+ The driver will pad NCM Transfer Blocks (NTBs) longer
+ than this to tx_max, allowing the device to receive
+ tx_max sized frames with no terminating short
+ packet. NTBs shorter than this limit are transmitted
+ as-is, without any padding, and are terminated with a
+ short USB packet.
+
+ Padding to tx_max allows the driver to transmit NTBs
+ back-to-back without any interleaving short USB
+ packets. This reduces the number of short packet
+ interrupts in the device, and represents a tradeoff
+ between USB bus bandwidth and device DMA optimization.
+
+ Set to 0 to pad all frames. Set greater than tx_max to
+ disable all padding.

+What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/cdc_ncm/rx_max
+Date: May 2014

+Contact: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no>
+Description:
+ The maximum NTB size for RX. Cannot exceed the
+ maximum value supported by the device. Must allow at
+ least one max sized datagram plus headers.
+
+ The actual limits are device dependent. See
+ dwNtbInMaxSize.
+
+ Note: Some devices will silently ignore changes to
+ this value, resulting in oversized NTBs and
+ corresponding framing errors.
