Re: [PATCH] CDC_NCM adding support IFF_NOARP for infineon modem platform

Infineon(now Intel) HSPA Modem platform NCM cannot support ARP. so I
introduce a flag CDC_NCM_DRIVER_DATA_NOARP which is defined in
driver_info:data. so later on, if more such buggy devices are found,
they could use same flag to handle.

Is it no able to do ARP or, the more likely case, does broadcast
not work at all?

If it's the latter, IFF_NOARP is just making over the real problem.

I'm not applying this, no hardware device should set IFF_NOARP.
You probably really want IFF_POINTOPOINT or similar.
