It should, so long as the QE hardware doesn't try to manage too many USB protocol details. Examples would be caring at all about "config change events" -- SET_CONFIGURATION picking between one of N configurations, and SET_INTERFACE picking between altsettings of a given interface. > Noted: AFAIK, RNDIS gadget in Linux doesn't interoperate with windows > well enough to be production level. Use at your own risk. Something in the past few releases broke so it may not be operating much at all, for that matter... However, it's a fair point that the interoperation requirements for RNDIS are so badly defined that non-Microsoft code has a very hard time being robust. Somewhere in the linux-usb archives is someone's fairly careful summary of a dozen extremely rude ways the MSFT RNDIS stack misbehaves. It'll do things like deciding to stop forwarding packets to certain applications for a while ... then continuing after a few minutes as if nothing was wrong. Blue screens are a possibility. Best to wait a few minutes between plugging and unplugging, while the races between the USB and NET stacks sort themselves out. - Dave _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
