Ethernet-briding a MBIM-interface

[Markus Gothe]

Explains why the fix_dst-stuff breaks briding in qmi_wwan.c as well I guess. However even if setting a null mac there it seems to be replaced by the modem fw, right?

Sure I can do ARP-replies with ebtables / arptables as well I suppose. :-) ARP is all about preferences.
