From 9992c2e2fbb72ffc63d4587c4aa94dfcd8229e55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjørn Mork Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2013 05:50:38 +0000 Subject: net: cdc_ncm: workaround for missing CDC Union MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adding support for the MBIM mode in some Sierra Wireless devices. Some Sierra Wireless firmwares support CDC MBIM but have no CDC Union funtional descriptor. This violates the MBIM specification, but we can easily work around the bug by looking at the Interface Association Descriptor instead. This is most likely what Windows uses too, which explains how the firmware bug has gone unnoticed until now. This change will not affect any currently supported device conforming to the NCM or MBIM specifications, as they must have the CDC Union descriptor.
