Did you hear about RDNIS being removed from the Linux kernel? Thoughts?

    @ming_58391 any comment?
    honestly, it was nice to have it as it provided a form of ethernet in USB. very nifty when the board doesnt come with an ethernet port.

  2. ming_58391#0000

    Given that one of the Implementations of RNDIS was called Horrendous (best said with a French Accent!) it gives a clue as to how loved it was. I have bad memories of trying to get it working to talk to Windows systems.

    However, note that the functionality has not gone away. I am using CDC Ethernet to provide Ethernet over USB on the `g_ether` module.

  3. melta101#0000

    i didnt know that CDC had there ethernet subclass
    how it different from NCM(have mostly worked ACM, NCM within CDC)?

    is it with the emulation of ethernet frames?

  4. ming_58391#0000

    From what I know (so needs fact checking) it sets up the usb bus as a transport and then sends Ethernet over that.

    From a more practical view – I enable CDC-ECM (?) in my device drivers. It is in the same Kconfig section as RNDIS.

  5. melta101#0000

    i see
    also i just tried it
    unlike NCM which gets detected as usbX
    ECM seems to get detected as ethX
    nicee
    Thanks for bringing this up!
