Subject: [PATCH 1/2] myri10ge: workaround buggy adopted firmwares
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 18:05:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45DC7BCD.1070709@myri.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <45DC7B8C.9070501@myri.com>

Work around a bug which occurs when adopting firmware versions
1.4.4 though 1.4.11 where broadcasts are filtered as if they
were multicasts.
