RE: Bridge, promiscous mode andCPM2

["Rune Torgersen" <runet@innovsys.com>]

Hi

Assuming CPM2 =3D> 82xx or 85xx CPU.

In the old 8260_io/fcc_enet.c	the set_multicast_list=20
function is present, bu has an early return nine lines=20
in. If you delete that return, promiscous mode works great.

I have no idea who or why that early return was put in,=20
but it does disable multicast and promiscous mode=20
on the FCC ethernets.
