      cdc_ether: add usb id for Ericsson F3507g · cac477e8
      Bjørn Mork authored
      The Ericsson F3507g wireless broadband module provides a CDC Ethernet
      compliant interface, but identifies it as a "Mobile Direct Line" CDC
      subclass, thereby preventing the CDC Ethernet class driver from picking
      it up.  This patch adds the device id to cdc_ether.c as a workaround.
      
      Ericsson has provided a "class" driver for this device:
      http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-net/2008/10/28/3832094
      But closer inspection of that driver reveals that it adds little more
      than duplication of code from cdc_ether.c.  See also

      r8169: read MAC address from EEPROM on init (2nd attempt) · 6709fe9a
      Ivan Vecera authored
      This is 2nd attempt to implement the initialization/reading of MAC address
      from EEPROM. The first used PCI's VPD and there were some problems, some
      devices are not able to read EEPROM content by VPD. The 2nd one uses direct
      access to EEPROM through bit-banging interface and my testing results seem
      to be much better.
      
      I tested 5 systems each with different Realtek NICs and I didn't find any
      problem. AFAIK Francois's NICs also works fine.
      
      Original description:
      This fixes the problem when MAC address is set by ifconfig or by
      ip link commands and this address is stored in the device after
      reboot. The power-off is needed to get right MAC address.
      This is problem when Xen daemon is running because it renames the device
      name from ethX to pethX and sets its MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
      After reboot the device is still using FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
