Hi, I’m new to the toradex community.
Recently started working on Colibri iMX6DL with Iris carrier board.

I want to have a working cellular network connection for the iMX6. I have a portable wifi hotspot device which can provide internet access over USB. I tried it with Ubuntu and the device is using rndis protocol. The device shows up as ethernet device in Ubuntu.
However i was unable to do so on iMX6. Need help in achieving the same.

Thank You. Looking forward for great support from Toradex.

Hi

The kernel in our demo images does not include the RNDIS driver for the host side.

Rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_USB_NET_RNDIS_HOST defined.
