No, feel free to test the RS/RA and DHCP implementations. It's good to know that they work. But it is a firmware hack which some MBIM devices do not support. And the MBIM IP configuration is mandatory, so using it should be the default. Note that you'll usually end up with different IPv6 addresses from those methods because you only get a /64 in the RA, while the MBIM method allow all 128 bits to be transferred. This shouldn't matter though. > > qmi-devices: test with dhcpv4 > test with RS/RA, without dhcpv6 Test everything, including using QMI for IP configuration :-) > ncm: ???? No standard IP configuration method to, so DHCP/RA is the only generic way. Specific modems may have their own vendor specific alterntives Bjørn -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
