Re: [PATCH 2/2] CDC_NCM: adding support FLAG_NOARP for Infineon modem platform
Thank you David. yes in the core driver, FLAG_NOARP will be translated to IFF_NOARP 2013/1/21, David Miller da...@davemloft.net: From: Wei Shuai cpuw...@gmail.com Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2013 10:20:22 +0800 The main problem is that these devices don't support ethernet.

Read his feedback carefully: +/* Same as wwan_info, but with IFF_NOARP */ FLAG_NOARP, you mean?

The main problem is that these devices don't support ethernet. They
support IP (v4 and _maybe_ v6) with an ethernet header. Many of them
will do ARP (and IPv6 ND) as well to complete the picture, but some of
them don't and that's what these drivers try to deal with.
Note that most of the devices will run a DHCP server, so there is some
sort of IP broadcast support. Whether that qualifies as proper ethernet
broadcast support is another question...
These devices are attempting to bridge an IP-only point-to-point
interface and an ethernet over USB interface, with the intention to make
the point-to-point interface look like ethernet to applications and
users. This is of course always going to be imperfect. But I believe
that we should aim to help the firmware achive this goal when writing
drivers instead of working against it. Setting IFF_NOARP and not
IFF_POINTTOPOINT is one way to do that. by Bjorn Mork bj...@mork.no
Why are you replying with this long story to my simple patch comments? :-)
