A note - I have also an Huawei E173 device - an indesctructible and small device. I know huawei engineers asked Draisberghof to use a particular switching packet, for Linux systems. If you use the windows one, the E173 exposes a QMI interface instead of a buggy cdc_ethernet one. Buggy in the sense that - before using it, you should do something like: # ifconfig wwan0 hw ether 00:01:02:03:04:05 And - yes, you need to set that exact mac, at least in my experience. However: this device doesn't suffer from the same bug, at least in this firmware version, that is: Revision: 31.116.30.00.11. I tried to send the Windows switch packet - and what I had was a device with two interfaces: one of these was handled by something (but I wasn't able to understand what was the driver actually handling it). the other wasn't handled by anyone - but I'm pretty sure it's not a QMI device. Hope someone one day will investigate! :) -- 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
