[RFC 2/4] Allow cdc_ncm to set MAC address in hardware

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch adds support for pushing a MAC address out to USB based
ethernet controllers driven by cdc_ncm.  With this change, ifconfig can
now set the device's MAC address.  For example, the Dell Universal Dock
D6000 is driven by cdc_ncm.  The D6000 can now have its MAC address set
by ifconfig, as it can be done in Windows.  This was tested with a D6000
using ifconfig.
