From 2ae40ee9872953b4f329a54c82970dfb6854e17e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Kamichoff Date: Sun, 7 Aug 2011 22:29:32 -0700 Subject: net/usb: Add IPv6 support to the LG-VL600 LTE USB modem driver The LG-VL600 LTE USB modem supports IPv6, but uses and expects an IPv4 ethertype (0x800) for these packets instead of the standard 0x86dd. This patch peeks at the IP version in the L3 header and sets the ethertype appropriately for IPv6 packets. Signed-off-by: Mark Kamichoff Signed-off-by: David S.
