cdc-acm: fix NULL pointer reference

2016-01-10T02:00:24+00:00

The union descriptor must be checked. Its usage was conditional
before the parser was introduced. This is important, because
many RNDIS device, which also use the common parser, have
bogus extra descriptors.

cdc-ether: handle promiscuous mode with a set_rx_mode callback

2014-10-28T21:26:20+00:00

Promiscuous mode was not supported anymore with my Lenovo adapters
(RTL8153) since commit c472ab68ad67db23c9907a27649b7dc0899b61f9
(cdc-ether: clean packet filter upon probe).

It was not possible to use them in a bridge anymore.

cdc-ether: clean packet filter upon probe

2014-07-29T19:22:15+00:00

There are devices that don't do reset all the way. So the packet filter should
be set to a sane initial value. Failure to do so leads to intermittent failures
of DHCP on some systems under some conditions.

qmi_wwan/cdc_ether: move Novatel E371 (1410:9011) to qmi_wwan

2014-03-31T20:06:11+00:00

This device provides QMI and ethernet functionality via a standard CDC
ethernet descriptor.  But when driven by cdc_ether, the QMI
functionality is unavailable because only cdc_ether can claim the USB
interface. Thus blacklist the device in cdc_ether and add its IDs to
qmi_wwan, which enables both QMI and ethernet simultaneously.
