Is that correct? There was an skge problem I noticed a while ago where on reset the multicast membership list was cleared. commit 758140900a82e3ed3bb2be1d4705dd352fe44825 Author: Stephen Hemminger Date: Fri Dec 1 11:41:08 2006 -0800 [PATCH] skge: don't clear MC state on link down I would rather fix Andy's problem by not clearing multicast information on link down. Also, add code to restore multicast state after ethtool phy reset. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik A patch Having this list cleared could stop you from receiving 802.3ad PDUs. I'll check skge and see if it has the same problem (I'm betting on it).
