Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: usb: usbnet: restore usb%d name exception for local mac addresses
Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2025 11:27:26 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250326072726.1138-1-naseefkm@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241203130457.904325-1-asmadeus@codewreck.org>
Hello,
I have tested this patch and can confirm that it works as expected with at least three models
of Quectel LTE modems.
Tested-by: Ahmed Naseef <naseefkm@gmail.com>
This issue affects many users of OpenWrt, where USB LTE modems are widely used. The device
name change has caused significant inconvenience, and as a result, this patch has already been
accepted in OpenWrt:
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/ecd609f509f29ed1f75db5c7a623f359c64efb72
Restoring the previous naming convention at the kernel level would greatly help in maintaining
consistency and avoiding unnecessary workarounds in userspace which is not straightforward in openwrt.
I hope this feedback helps in reconsidering the patch for mainline inclusion.
Best regards,
Ahmed Naseef
