Linux To Try Again To Disable All RNDIS Protocol Drivers

[EphemeralEft]

I wonder if GKH knows that this driver is still needed, and is just doing this to push OEMs to support the other protocol. Although in that case it should just be deprecated.

We could just reply to the mailing list objecting to this before it goes through...

How about only remove it after a replacement is added to the kernel? Also, this whole debate shows why we really need an official USB IP Alt-Mode now.

It is still used in brand-new devices. Sony Xperia 10 V for example shares its Internet connection using RNDIS.

The problem with deprecated stuff is that it keeps working until it's removed. Therefore, no replacement solution will be developed as long as it works... It's interesting to see how this one plays out. My guess is that it will stay in for a good while still.
