That is usb class, it is not the same thing as communication device
class.

No, no, no.
There is no CDC_SUBCLASS_RNDIS and you can not define one over an
already used cdc subclass number, 0x04 is Multi-Channel Control Model
Ah, ok, so I have to define this values in a new header file, as there
is no current file for the USB_CLASS_MISC defines? Or is there a proper
place for them?
BTW: where do I find the "cdc subclass number, 0x04 is Multi-Channel
Control Model" define?

You can still find the original specification usbcdc11.pdf on the net
if you google for it, it has been pulled from usb.org where you could
download it until a few years ago.
It is old but covers a lot of what you need to know.
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
I don't know if it is a good idea to provide a link here to a document
which usb.org has made unavailable, I told you to google for the file
name , not to search for it on usb.org
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 ...
I was wrong, usb class definitions are included in
../include/uapi/linux/usb/ch9.h
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 ...
Yes it has, but the core driver is not an interface driver so it is not
of relevance in this case.
cdc_ether handles interfaces of device connected to the usb bus, not
interfaces of gadget devices
created by linux.
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!
The patch from your customer removed the most common rndis interface
attributes and substituted them
with one of many other interface attributes which Microsoft uses, this
is not the right way of doing it.
Why did he patch ../core/generic.c and ../net/usb/cdc_ether.c if he
wants to change the interface attributes of g_rndis?
