RE: Bridge, promiscous mode andCPM2

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.

Hi,
=20
I would need confirmation on this.
=20
As long as I have seen, bridge's stuff in kernel sets=20
promiscous mode by using dev_set_promiscuity, which arrives=20
in the execution of fcc_enet's set_multicast_list.
=20
But this function is not developed, so the promiscous mode is=20
never set in the FCC Ethernet Mode Register.
=20
Am I right? By now, I only needs the promiscous mode, so,=20
could it be a solution to implement only this functionality=20
in the set_multicast_list function? Do I need to consider=20
anything else?
=20
Best regards
