+===============
+
+The function is provided by usb_f_ecm.ko module.
+
+Function-specific configfs interface
+------------------------------------
+
+The function name to use when creating the function directory is "ecm".
+The ECM 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/ecm.<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.
