Is there any other possible approach to fine this network > interface and USB RNDIS Function ? Are you using multiple urbs to keep the pipe full to the USB device? That's a requirement if you want to get proper throughput. thanks, greg k-h -- 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
