Right. So for your device, the correct behavior would be to do nothing, wouldn't it? The packets would be delivered and the host needs to filter and discard unrequested packets. > Currently we are setting these bits to 0 indicating no capabilities on our device and still we observe that Host (Linux kernel host cdc driver) has been sending requests specific to these capabilities. > > Please let me know if there is a better way to indicate host that device does not have these capabilities. no you are doing things as they are supposed to be done and the host is at fault. This kernel bug needs to be fixed. Regards Oliver
