[PATCH 5.15 166/203] usb: gadget: u_ether: Fix host MAC address case

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

 



From: Konrad Gräfe <k.graefe@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 3c0f4f09c063e143822393d99cb2b19a85451c07 upstream.

The CDC-ECM specification [1] requires to send the host MAC address as
an uppercase hexadecimal string in chapter "5.4 Ethernet Networking
Functional Descriptor":
    The Unicode character is chosen from the set of values 30h through
    39h and 41h through 46h (0-9 and A-F).

However, snprintf(.., "%pm", ..) generates a lowercase MAC address
string. While most host drivers are tolerant to this, UsbNcm.sys on
Windows 10 is not. Instead it uses a different MAC address with all
bytes set to zero including and after the first byte containing a
lowercase letter. On Windows 11 Microsoft fixed it, but apparently they
did not backport the fix.

This change fixes the issue by upper-casing the MAC to comply with the
specification.
