Just to clarify, I was objecting to renaming interface name mostly because devices which use CDC NCM function might be something different from wwan devices. I would prefer to keep a generic name of interface (usbX or ethX). As an option anyone can use udev rules to set interface name they want for their device based on VID/PID or MAC address or something else. I've already provided udev rule example earlier in this thread. Dan, is it in line with your statement? /alexey -- 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
