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

The main problem is that these devices don't support ethernet.  They
support IP (v4 and _maybe_ v6) with an ethernet header.  Many of them
will do ARP (and IPv6 ND) as well to complete the picture, but some of
them don't and that's what these drivers try to deal with.

Ok, in that case setting IFF_NOARP is in fact the right thing to do.
Thanks for describing the situation.

Someone please resubmit the patch to do that and I'll apply it.
