+What:		/sys/class/net/<iface>/cdc_ncm/min_tx_pkt

+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.

+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
+
+		Set to 0 to disable aggregation.

+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".
