Lech Perczak says: ==================== rndis_host: handle bogus MAC addresses in ZTE RNDIS devices When porting support of ZTE MF286R to OpenWrt [1], it was discovered, that its built-in LTE modem fails to adjust its target MAC address, when a random MAC address is assigned to the interface, due to detection of "locally-administered address" bit. This leads to dropping of ingress trafficat the host. The modem uses RNDIS as its primary interface, with some variants exposing both of them simultaneously. Then it was discovered, that cdc_ether driver contains a fixup for that exact issue, also appearing on CDC ECM interfaces. I discussed how to proceed with that with Bjørn Mork at OpenWrt forum [3], with the first approach would be to trust the locally-administered MAC again, and add a quirk for the problematic ZTE devices, as suggested by Kristian Evensen. before [4], but reusing the fixup from cdc_ether looks like a safer and more generic solution. Finally, according to Bjørn's suggestion. limit the scope of bogus MAC addressdetection to ZTE devices, the same way as it is done in cdc_ether, as this trait wasn't really observed outside of ZTE devices. Do that for both flavours of RNDIS devices, with interface classes 02/02/ff and e0/01/03, as both types are reported by different modems.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
