Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: document the gianfar tx vlan offload issue
Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2014 11:04:45 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1396580685-17156-1-git-send-email-roy.qing.li@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li@gmail.com>
The commit b852b72087[gianfar: fix bug caused by 87c288c6e9] and e2c53be223
[gianfar: fix default tx vlan offload feature flag] disabled tx vlan offload
from dev->feature, since enabling vlan tag insertion leads to unusable
connections on some configurations.
But this feature is in dev->hw_feature still, and a user can enable it by
"ethtool", so document the tx vlan offload issue.
