Subject: [PATCH net] r8169: fix mac address change
Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2018 22:49:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1770bc23-75f1-d462-b8a3-61e81ade4c3c@gmail.com> (raw)

Network core refuses to change mac address because flag
IFF_LIVE_ADDR_CHANGE isn't set. Set this missing flag.

Fixes: 1f7aa2bc268e ("r8169: simplify rtl_set_mac_address")
Reported-by: Corinna Vinschen <vinschen@redhat.com>
