   If it's your device and your computer you could just use CDC-NCM instead.   
   I've used that successfully between Pi-like devices (Beaglebone Black) and   
   FreeBSD servers.   
      
   Here's the script, based on the Beaglebone Linux's bb-usb-gadgets package:   
   https://github.com/CTSRD-CHERI/morello-bbb-ubuntu-image-builder/   
   lob/master/morello/bb-start-acm-ncm-rndis-old-gadget   
      
   It does some combination of USB serial (CDC-ACM), mass storage, RNDIS and   
   NCM depending on which options you pick.
