how does it work then?


You are right. This would effect unwrap call and the wMaxSegmentSize is used directly. Thanks for the catch. I didn't test with 2 NCM interfaces and hence I wasn't able to find this bug. Perhaps changing this to opts->max_segment_size would fix the implementation as unwrap would anyways be called after bind.

Hi Maciej,

How about the below diff:

---------

+/*
+ * Allow max segment size to be in parity with max_mtu possible
+ * for the interface.
+ */
+#define MAX_DATAGRAM_SIZE GETHER_MAX_ETH_FRAME_LEN
+
#define FORMATS_SUPPORTED (USB_CDC_NCM_NTB16_SUPPORTED | \
USB_CDC_NCM_NTB32_SUPPORTED)

------

I can limit the max segment size to (Max MTU + ETH_HELN) and this would be logical to do. Also we can set the frame_max from ncm_opts itself while initializing it to 1514 (default value) during alloc_inst callback and nothing would break while still being backward compatible.

Let me know your thoughts on this.

Krishna,
