Horndis spamming console and connection stop working

[pierre-lagarde]

Hi,

First, thanks a lot for the great work, been using your extension for two years now and it's a great tool I can't live without.
Though, since I use it on my macBookPro, I'm having the same behavior that is described on this closed file :
#40
(same message repeated n times for instance "22/07/2015 11:47:28,000 kernel[0]: HoRNDIS: outputPacket: waiting for buffer..." and also "22/07/2015 11:47:28,000 kernel[0]: HoRNDIS: outputPacket: timed out waiting for buffer")
but with a regular macBook Pro with regular Mavericks 10.9.5.
Plus that each time the console start to be spammed, the connection is timing out and I have to stop and start again the usb tethering on my phone to get my connection back to life. Some websites are presumably more likely to cause the issue than others but in fact it can happen while loading any website if I surf quickly for instance.
It makes the tool nearly unusable.
My phone is a Zenfone Asus under Lollipop 5.0.1
I added a list of possibly useful extensions and information at the end of this message, but tell me if you need any more information (I'm not used to github reporting, so just tell me what is the most accurate to do and report and I'll do)
And maybe I missed something in your manuals, so just tell me and I will apologize quickly ;).

Best regards and keep up.

I'm having the same problem. Horndis spams >500 message per second in my Console and makes it spinball. Also, I suspect it causes my computer to crash, I've had 2 crashes in the last hour, and in both cases "HoRNDIS: outputPacket: waiting for buffer..." was the last message in my /var/log/system.log and /var/log/debug.log

I've started experiencing this problem after upgrading my MacOS to 10.10.4 from Mavericks and upgrading my Nexus 6 to 5.1 from 5.0

I'm getting the repeated

HoRNDIS: outputPacket: waiting for buffer...
HoRNDIS: outputPacket: waiting for buffer...
HoRNDIS: outputPacket: waiting for buffer...
HoRNDIS: outputPacket: waiting for buffer...
HoRNDIS: outputPacket: waiting for buffer...
HoRNDIS: outputPacket: waiting for buffer...
HoRNDIS: outputPacket: waiting for buffer...
HoRNDIS: outputPacket: waiting for buffer...
HoRNDIS: outputPacket: waiting for buffer...
HoRNDIS: outputPacket: waiting for buffer...
HoRNDIS: outputPacket: timed out waiting for buffer

On Yosemite 10.10.5 (Mac mini late 2014) with both rel7 and rel8pre1

I've started a ping as the connection starts.

I got ~1.5ms ping to the device for the first 3 times.
The 4th (and final) ping took 199.739ms

I don't know if this is my problem, but I have the same logs.

HoRNDIS and tethering worked flawlessly the first time I installed the drivers, but never again. In my case I get a self-assigned IP in the 169.X range, which won't work.

I'm seeing this as well. Worked once, then never again. Spams "kernel[0]: HoRNDIS: outputPacket: timed out waiting for buffer" to the console for a few seconds, then nothing.

Tried reloading the driver, no luck
