The device's ID is blacklisted in cdc_ether.c and is white-listed in this new driver because of the quirks needed to make it useful. The modem's firmware exposes a CDC ACM port for modem control and a CDC Ethernet port for network data. The descriptors look fine but both ports actually are some sort of multiplexers requiring non- standard headers added/removed from every packet or else they're ignored. The CDC Ethernet port is not technically an ethernet interface because the ethernet header is stripped away from packets and only packets sent to/from the gateway IP are allowed. But treating it like an ethernet interface lets us to reuse a lot of driver code and userspace code like DHCP. All information is based on a usb traffic log from a Windows machine. Comments on how to improve the code are welcome. Note that usb_skb_return is used in tx_fixup without a bottom half, which other drivers don't do. On the Verizon 4G network I've seen speeds up to 1.1MB/s so far with this driver, a speed-o-meter site reports 16.2Mbps/10.5Mbps. Userspace scripts are required to talk to the CDC ACM port.
