set_multicast_list() commented out in fcc_enet.c

set_multicast_list() commented out in fcc_enet.c

[Alex Zeffertt]

Hi all,

I've noticed that in arch/ppc/8260_io/fcc_enet.c at the very top of the
function set_multicast_list() there is a return statement - effectively
commenting out the rest of the code.  There is no comment saying why it
is there.

An effect of this is that you cannot put the device in promiscuous mode,
which is required when adding it to a bridge.

Please can anyone say why this "return;" is there?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

I had the same problem few months ago with arch/ppc/cpm2_io/fcc_enet.c.=20
It should be the same driver.
I suppose that multicast is not correctly implemented. I have commented =
this
return and promiscuous mode works fine but I have never tried with
multicast.
