Legal issues are news to me. There is an isp1761 open source project where
you can get the code, but I believe the code there is much older than code
we got direct from philips around last october.
Regarding usbnet we need it to work in device mode. I worked on IPAQs a
couple years ago that did this correctly: you plug the unit into a pc via
USB and you get an ethernet style link to the IPAQ linux os. I'm trying to
do the same in our product which as far as I know involves cdc_ethernet and
the gadget framework.
It's pretty frustrating, actually, since I have working bulk endpoints and
all I need to do is get the ethernet frame in one end and out the other.
Maybe someone knows how to get a usb network interface without gadgets?
