Currently g_ether is not working properly under windows. We should try to be conform to this: https://github.com/fischertechnik/FT-TXT/blob/master/board/FT/TXT/rootfs/etc/init.d/S98usb_g_ether

Did that work before? Otherwise, I would not assign 1.0 to that.

How can I test that it works?

ski7777 commented 1 year ago

yes and no. The issue is persistent since the beginning. We use the default linux USB vid/pid insted of ft/knobloch+TXT. Workaround: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=245184#p1496396

I think we should postpone this for 1.1 in order to avoid delaying the release. I myself never used the txt with a usb connection, so I am not familiar with that (using wifi or serial connection to debug).

Due to linux dropping support for RNDIS we should migrate to another protocol: https://linuxsecurity.com/news/security-projects/linux-preparing-to-disable-drivers-for-microsoft-s-rndis-protocol I will check on this
