Re: [PATCH] net: usb: usbnet: restore usb%d name exception for local mac addresses

[Ahmed Naseef]

Hello,  

I have tested this patch and can confirm that it works as expected with at least three models
of Quectel LTE modems.  


Tested-by: Ahmed Naseef <naseefkm@xxxxxxxxx> 

This issue affects many users of OpenWrt, where USB LTE modems are widely used. The device
name change has caused significant inconvenience, and as a result, this patch has already been
accepted in OpenWrt:

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/ecd609f509f29ed1f75db5c7a623f359c64efb72  

Restoring the previous naming convention at the kernel level would greatly help in maintaining 
consistency and avoiding unnecessary workarounds in userspace which is not straightforward in openwrt.  

I hope this feedback helps in reconsidering the patch for mainline inclusion.  

Best regards,  
Ahmed Naseef
