I'd like to say thanks! to the people who wrote the CDCEther driver - I
picked up the Linksys cable modem, with both USB and Ethernet ports. 
The USB port works great, with linux-2.4.18-rc1.

The /proc/bus/usb/devices info:

T:  Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  3 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.00 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=32 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=069a ProdID=0902 Rev= 1.01
S:  Manufacturer=Linksys
S:  Product=USB Cable Modem
S:  SerialNumber=000625588839
C:* #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr=  0mA
I:  If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=02(comm.) Sub=06 Prot=00 Driver=CDCEther
E:  Ad=85(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=  16 Ivl= 64ms
I:  If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=0a(data ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=CDCEther
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=  0ms
E:  Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=  0ms

My only questions concerns the message about MC filters. from dmesg:

hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/1, assigned device number 3
CDCEther.c: Ethernet information found at device configuration.  This is
broken.
CDCEther.c: detected BULK OUT packets of size 64

[tdavis@VAIO tdavis]$ /sbin/modinfo CDCEther
filename:    /lib/modules/2.4.18-rc1/kernel/drivers/usb/CDCEther.o
description: "USB CDC Ethernet driver"
author:      "Brad Hards and another"
parm:        multicast_filter_limit int, description "CDCEther maximum
number of filtered multicast addresses"

So, is there a good reason not to increase the multicast_filter_limit
value?

Thanks!
thomas
