Re-submitted based on comments from netdev community.
Summary of the changes:
1. Improved error handling.
2. Added the missing timeout arguments to usb_control_msg().

The following is a new Linux driver which exposes certain models of Sierra
Wireless modems to the operating system as Network Interface Cards (NICs).

This driver requires a version of the sierra.c driver which supports
blacklisting to work properly. The blacklist in sierra.c rejects the interfaces
claimed by sierra_net.c. Likewise, the sierra_net.c driver only accepts
(i.e. whitelists) the interface(s) used for USB-to-WWAN traffic.
The version of sierra.c which supports blacklisting is
available from the sierra wireless knowledge base page for older kernels. It is
also available in Linux kernel starting from version 2.6.31.

This driver works with all Sierra Wireless devices configured with PID=68A3
like USB305, USB306 provided the corresponding firmware version is I2.0
(for USB305) or M3.0 (for USB306) and later.
This driver will not work with earlier firmware versions than the ones shown
above. In this case the driver will issue an error message indicating
incompatibility and will not serve the device's USB-to-WWAN interface.

Sierra_net.c sits atop a pre-existing Linux driver called usbnet.c.
A series of hook functions are provided in sierra_net.c which are called by
usbnet.c in response to a particular condition such as receipt or transmission
of a data packet. As such, usbnet.c does most of the work of making
a modem appear to the system as a network device and for properly exchanging
traffic between the USB subsystem and the Network card interface.
Sierra_net.c is concerned with managing the data exchanged between the
USB-to-WWAN interface and the upper layers of the operating system.

There are still a couple of minor (almost cosmetic-level) issues, but the driver

Many Nokia handsets support a Phonet interface to the cellular modem
via a vendor-specific USB interface. CDC Phonet follows the
Communications Device Class model, with one control interface, and
and a pair of inactive and active data alternative interface. The later
has two bulk endpoint, one per direction.

This was tested against Nokia E61, Nokia N95, and the existing Phonet
gadget function for the Linux composite USB gadget framework.

This introduces a CDC Ethernet Emulation Model (EEM) host side
driver to support USB EEM devices.

EEM is different from the Ethernet Control Model (ECM) currently
supported by the "CDC Ethernet" driver.  One key difference is
that it doesn't require of USB interface alternate settings to
manage interface state; some maldesigned hardware can't handle
that part of USB.  It also avoids a separate USB interface for
control and status updates.

It is preferable to group drivers by usage (net, scsi, ATA, ...) than
by bus.  When reviewing drivers, the [PCI|USB|PCMCIA|...] maintainer
is probably less qualified on networking issues than a networking
maintainer.  Also, from a practical standpoint, chips often
appear on multiple buses, which is why we do not put drivers into
drivers/pci/net.

This driver adds support for the DeLOCK USB ethernet adapter
and potentially others based on the MosChip MCS7830 chip.

It is based on the usbnet and asix drivers as well as the
original device driver provided by MosChip, which in turn
was based on the usbnet driver.

It has been tested successfully on an OHCI, but interestingly
there seems to be a problem with the mcs7830 when connected to
the ICH6/EHCI in my thinkpad: it keeps receiving lots of
broken packets in the RX interrupt. The problem goes away when
I'm using an active USB hub, so I assume it's not related to
the device driver, but rather to the hardware.

This wraps up the conversion of the "usbnet" driver structure, by
moving the Prolific PL-2201/2302 minidriver to a module of its own.
It also includes some minor cleanups to the remaining "usbnet" file,
notably removing that long changelog at the top.

Minor historical note:  Linux 2.2 first called the driver for
this hardware "plusb".

This adds host-side RNDIS support to the "usbnet" driver, so Linux can talk
to various devices (often based on WinCE) that otherwise only Windows could
talk to.

Tested with little-endian Linux talking to a Linux-USB Ethernet/RNDIS based
peripheral.  This also includes updates from Eddie C. Dost <ecd@brainaid.de>
for big-endian SPARC Linux talking to a Nokia 9500 Communicator.

It's still marked as EXPERIMENTAL because this code is so young.  This
ought to let Linux to work with various cable modems that previously
would have been "Windows Only".

As with the "cdc_subset" and "asix" drivers, this just moves the net1080
support into its one driver module.  In this case there's a small bit of
extra cleanup involved, moving some funky framing logic into the tx_fixup()
routine (resolving a long overdue FIXME).

Minor historical note:  "usbnet" started out as "net1080", then got
generalized to make it easier for other network drivers to reuse the
urb queueing and fault management code here.

This patch moves the ASIX AX8817x driver into its own file, just using
the "usbnet" infrastructure as a utility library.

 - As with "cdc_subset" this involved minor Kconfig/kbuild tweaks,
   moving code from one file to another, and exporting a few functions.

 - This includes updates from Jamie Painter to add (and use) a new hook
   to handle the different maximum transfer sizes for rx and tx sides.

 - Also from Jamie, some bugfixes:
    * MDIO byteorder (to address some PPC media negotiation problems);
    * Force alignment at key spots when using ax88772 framing (on some
      embedded hardware, the network stack will break otherwise);
    * Address some link reset problems.

It also makes this driver use the standard (5 seconds vs half second)
control timeouts used elsewhere in USB; and wraps a few lines before
the 80th column (which previously needed it).

This patch creates the first of several separate "minidriver" modules
for "usbnet".  This one handles only the very simplest hardware, which
can be handled almost entirely by the "usbnet" core.

    - Move device-specific bits into new "cdc_subset.c" driver,
      shrinking "usbnet" by a bunch;

    - Export the functions needed to support this minidriver
      (with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL);

    - Update Kconfig and kbuild accordingly.

This one handles about a dozen different device types, with the most
notable ones being Gumstix and most Linux-based PDAs (except Zaurus
running that ancient code from Sharp).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
