Ugh.
Different modules works with rndis_generic_bind(..., media type option). dmesg shows following: [11214.496773] usb 3-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 [11214.622861] usb 3-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [11214.784874] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether [11214.805700] rndis_host 3-3:1.0: driver requires wired physical medium, but device is wireless.

I have new patchset that prepares rndis_host/usbnet for separate rndis_wext but not sure should I submit (I haven't managed to get into contact with Bjorge Dijkstra for 3,5 weeks now to have him decide how to proceed). - Jussi Kivilinna -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
