+Description:
+ Boolean. Default: 'N'
+
+ Set this to 'Y' to change the network device link
+ framing from '802.3' to 'raw-ip'.
+
+ The netdev will change to reflect the link framing
+ mode. The netdev is an ordinary ethernet device in
+ '802.3' mode, and the driver expects to exchange
+ frames with an ethernet header over the USB link. The
+ netdev is a headerless p-t-p device in 'raw-ip' mode,
+ and the driver expects to echange IPv4 or IPv6 packets
+ without any L2 header over the USB link.
+
+ Userspace is in full control of firmware configuration
+ through the delegation of the QMI protocol. Userspace
+ is responsible for coordination of driver and firmware
+ link framing mode, changing this setting to 'Y' if the
+ firmware is configured for 'raw-ip' mode.
