+(declared in <linux/isdn/capiutil.h>)
+
+The _cmsg structure stores the contents of a CAPI 2.0 message in an easily
+accessible form. It contains members for all possible CAPI 2.0 parameters, of
+which only those appearing in the message type currently being processed are
+actually used. Unused members should be set to zero.
+
+Members are named after the CAPI 2.0 standard names of the parameters they
+represent. See <linux/isdn/capiutil.h> for the exact spelling. Member data
+types are:
+
+u8 for CAPI parameters of type 'byte'
+
+u16 for CAPI parameters of type 'word'
+
+u32 for CAPI parameters of type 'dword'
+
+_cstruct for CAPI parameters of type 'struct' not containing any
+ variably-sized (struct) subparameters (eg. 'Called Party Number')
+ The member is a pointer to a buffer containing the parameter in
+ CAPI encoding (length + content). It may also be NULL, which will
+ be taken to represent an empty (zero length) parameter.
+
+_cmstruct for CAPI parameters of type 'struct' containing 'struct'
+ subparameters ('Additional Info' and 'B Protocol')
+ The representation is a single byte containing one of the values:
+ CAPI_DEFAULT: the parameter is empty
+ CAPI_COMPOSE: the values of the subparameters are stored
+ individually in the corresponding _cmsg structure members
+
+Functions capi_cmsg2message() and capi_message2cmsg() are provided to convert
+messages between their transport encoding described in the CAPI 2.0 standard
+and their _cmsg structure representation. Note that capi_cmsg2message() does
+not know or check the size of its destination buffer. The caller must make

-2.6. M105 Undocumented USB Requests
- ------------------------------
-
- The Gigaset M105 USB data box understands a couple of useful, but
- undocumented USB commands. These requests are not used in normal
- operation (for wireless access to the base), but are needed for access
- to the M105's own configuration mode (registration to the base, baudrate
- and line format settings, device status queries) via the gigacontr
- utility. Their use is controlled by the kernel configuration option
- "Support for undocumented USB requests" (CONFIG_GIGASET_UNDOCREQ). If you
- encounter error code -ENOTTY when trying to use some features of the
- M105, try setting that option to "y" via 'make {x,menu}config' and
- recompiling the driver.

+2.6. Unregistered Wireless Devices (M101/M105)
+ -----------------------------------------
+ The main purpose of the ser_gigaset and usb_gigaset drivers is to allow
+ the M101 and M105 wireless devices to be used as ISDN devices for ISDN
+ connections through a Gigaset base. Therefore they assume that the device
+ is registered to a DECT base.
+
+ If the M101/M105 device is not registered to a base, initialization of
+ the device fails, and a corresponding error message is logged by the
+ driver. In that situation, a restricted set of functions is available
+ which includes, in particular, those necessary for registering the device
+ to a base or for switching it between Fixed Part and Portable Part
+ modes.
