Tethering not working with Nokia 6.1

[topolinik]

With a Nokia 6.1 (Android One phone) tethering works under linux.

Under haiku x86_64 b4tc0 the network interface does not appear. The phone is plugged into a USB2 port.

Attaching syslog and usb diagnostics.

Please retest with a recent nightly.

Tested with a fresh kernel image, but nothing changed. I mean no network interface detected.

Attached new syslog and listusb output.

I had a similar situation on #17746, where what the driver expects, and what the USB device reports differed too much.

I was able to make my device work (with some rough edges), by following his suggested changes.

If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, maybe you can also do similar modifications so it recognizes your device? Judging from your listusb output... it looks to me like it might work once it passes the "detection" steps of the driver (interface 1 and 2 look pretty similar to mine at least).

(I should get back to mine, see if I can add some more checks, as suggested by Adrien, and submit the patch for review).

Adding your your phone might not be that difficult... For reference, you could use my newest .diff as a base:

Something like adding: , { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x2e04, 0xc008 } after line 19 on that diff, and something like:

          } else if (descriptor->interface_class == 0xef
                       && descriptor->interface_subclass == 0x04
                       && descriptor->interface_protocol == 0x01) {
               // ToDo: check interface string here, "continue" if it's not "RNDIS Communications Control"
          } else {

either after line 66, or replacing the else on line 71...

(sorry for not providing a proper .diff directly, I'm not on my main machine right now).

Well, the XHCI errors look better, the remaining ones are probably harmless.
