+What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/cdc_ncm/min_tx_pkt
+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/ndp_to_end
+Date: Dec 2015
+KernelVersion: 4.5
+Contact: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no>
+Description:
+ Boolean attribute showing the status of the "NDP to
+ end" quirk. Defaults to 'N', except for devices
+ already known to need it enabled.
+
+ The "NDP to end" quirk makes the driver place the NDP
+ (the packet index table) after the payload. The NCM
+ specification does not mandate this, but some devices
+ are known to be more restrictive. Write 'Y' to this
+ attribute for temporary testing of a suspect device
+ failing to work with the default driver settings.
+
+ A device entry should be added to the driver if this
+ quirk is found to be required.

+What: /sys/class/net/<iface>/cdc_ncm/rx_max
+Date: May 2014
+KernelVersion: 3.16
+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.

+Description:
+ Datagram aggregation timeout in µs. The driver will
+ wait up to 3 times this timeout for more datagrams to
+ aggregate before transmitting an NTB frame.
+
+ Valid range: 5 to 4000000
+

+Control Model Devices" (CDC NCM), Revision 1.0 (Errata 1), November
+24, 2010 from USB Implementers Forum, Inc. The descriptions are
+quoted from table 6-3 of CDC NCM: "NTB Parameter Structure".
