Hmm.. maybe I am to dummy for finding this docment...

http://www.usb.org/results?q=usbcdc11.pdf&submit=Search

does not find this document ... could you send me a direct link?

I found with the above search:

http://www.usb.org/developers/defined_class

and this site, exactly describes the values for RNDIS over ethernet,
as my patch changes [1]

> Linux has afaik only the cdc.h definition file, everything else is coded by class/subclass in respectively drivers when needed.

why not in header files? I thought, magical values are not welcome
in source code ...

As for the is_rndis() function case, this function is defined in
2 places:

- drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c
- drivers/usb/core/generic.c

Has this a special reason? This seems suboptimal to me ...

> 02/02/ff or e0/01/03 are the most common interface attribute for rndis, both of them together with a data interface with attributes 0a/00/00.

I must admit, I am not a USB nor a RNDIS expert ...

> Please check the whitelisting in drivers/net/usb/rndis_host.c and also blacklistings in other net drivers under the same path, it should give you an idea how to bind an interface to a specific driver by interface attributes and/or usb vid:pid.

Hmm.. I did not understand you here ... so, one step back:

I got from a customer this patch (in a similiar version) and
he did tests with [3] and saw, that a board which runs linux,
is seen in [3] with the values [2] ... so he changed the
values in drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_rndis.c to the
values [1], which are documented in [4] and with them
the test [3] is happy ... and the file
"Documentation/usb/linux.inf" is not longer needed on the
windows pc!

So he (and at the end I too) thought, that this is the proper
way to make [3] happy ... (maybe [3] is incorrect ? )

Is current ML code correct? And if yes, why?

If the values [2] in current ML linux are correct,
could you say me, where they are documented?

(and sorry for my stupid questions ...)

Thanks!

bye,
Heiko

[1] values which my patch sets for RNDIS over ethernet
- baseclass: 0xef (miscellaneous)
- subclass: 0x04
- protocol: 0x01

[2] currently used values for RNDIS over ethernet
- baseclass: 0x02 (USB_CLASS_COMM)
- subclass: 0x02
- protocol: 0xff

[3] "USB Compliance test suite which runs Windows", see:
