Subject: proposed changes for CDCEther module?


a while back, i pointed out that, in trying to use the
usbnet.o module to communicate with my zaurus, the CDCEther
module was getting in the way, and someone (mercifully)
pointed out that i could blacklist that module in
/etc/hotplug/blacklist.

i also *think* i remember someone saying that that was
going to be "fixed" in some way with a subsequent release
of the kernel. can anyone refresh my memory as to what
that fix might have involved? was this issue with CDCEther
considered a "bug" that needed fixing? or am i misremembering?

thanks.

It is, but I haven't got around to doing it yet. Please give me a bit of time
to get it coded, tested, and pushed to Greg K-H.

It is actually a bug in the Zaurus code, since it is claiming to be compliant
with the CDC Ethernet class specification, but it isn't.
