cdc_ether|r8152: ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C/A Dock quirk

2025-03-17T20:25:25+00:00

Lenovo ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C with USB-A Dock (17ef:a359) is affected by the same problem as the Lenovo Powered USB-C Travel Hub (17ef:721e): Both are based on the Realtek RTL8153B chip used to use the cdc_ether driver. However, using this driver, with the system suspended the device constantly sends pause-frames as soon as the receive buffer fills up. This causes issues with other devices, where some Ethernet switches stop forwarding packets altogether. Using the Realtek driver (r8152) fixes this issue. Pause frames are no longer sent while the host system is suspended.

The SL-A300, B500/5600, and C700 devices no longer auto-load because of "usbnet: Remove over-broad module alias from zaurus." This patch adds IDs for those 3 devices.

net: usb: cdc_ether: add u-blox 0x1313 composition.

Add CDC-ECM support for LARA-R6 01B. The new LARA-R6 product variant identified by the "01B" string can be configured (by AT interface) in three different USB modes: * Default mode (Vendor ID: 0x1546 Product ID: 0x1311) with 4 serial interfaces * RmNet mode (Vendor ID: 0x1546 Product ID: 0x1312) with 4 serial interfaces and 1 RmNet virtual network interface * CDC-ECM mode (Vendor ID: 0x1546 Product ID: 0x1313) with 4 serial interface and 1 CDC-ECM virtual network interface The first 4 interfaces of all the 3 configurations (default, RmNet, ECM) are the same. In CDC-ECM mode LARA-R6 01B exposes the following interfaces: If 0: Diagnostic If 1: AT parser If 2: AT parser If 3: AT parset/alternative functions If 4: CDC-ECM interface Signed-off-by: Davide Tronchin Reviewed-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: David S.

cdc_ether: no need to blacklist any r8152 devices

2023-01-09T07:39:53+00:00

The r8152 driver does not need this anymore. Dropping blacklist entries adds optional support for these devices in ECM mode. The 8153 devices are handled by the r8153_ecm driver when in ECM mode, and must still be blacklisted here. Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: usb: cdc_ether: add support for Thales Cinterion PLS62-W modem

2023-01-06T06:04:58+00:00

This modem has 7 interfaces, 5 of them are serial interfaces and are driven by cdc_acm, while 2 of them are wwan interfaces and are driven by cdc_ether: If 0: Abstract (modem) If 1: Abstract (modem) If 2: Abstract (modem) If 3: Abstract (modem) If 4: Abstract (modem) If 5: Ethernet Networking If 6: Ethernet Networking Without this change, the 2 network interfaces will be named to usb0 and usb1, our QA think the names are confusing and filed a bug on it. After applying this change, the name will be wwan0 and wwan1, and they could work well with modem manager.

r8152: add PID for the Lenovo OneLink+ Dock

2022-08-27T15:35:41+00:00

The Lenovo OneLink+ Dock contains an RTL8153 controller that behaves as a broken CDC device by default. Add the custom Lenovo PID to the r8152 driver to support it properly. Also, systems compatible with this dock provide a BIOS option to enable MAC address passthrough (as per Lenovo document "ThinkPad Docking Solutions 2017"). Add the custom PID to the MAC passthrough list too. Tested on a ThinkPad 13 1st gen with the expected results: passthrough disabled: Invalid header when reading pass-thru MAC addr passthrough enabled: Using pass-thru MAC addr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Signed-off-by: Jean-Francois Le Fillatre Signed-off-by: David S.

cdc_ether: export usbnet_cdc_zte_rx_fixup

2022-04-14T13:08:12+00:00

Commit bfe9b9d2df66 ("cdc_ether: Improve ZTE MF823/831/910 handling") introduces a workaround for certain ZTE modems reporting invalid MAC addresses over CDC-ECM. The same issue was present on their RNDIS interface,which was fixed in commit a5a18bdf7453 ("rndis_host: Set valid random MAC on buggy devices"). However, internal modem of ZTE MF286R router, on its RNDIS interface, also exhibits a second issue fixed already in CDC-ECM, of the device not respecting configured random MAC address. In order to share the fixup for this with rndis_host driver, export the workaround function, which will be re-used in the following commit in rndis_host.
