RE: Bridge, promiscous mode andCPM2

So,

Is this patch available? Will it be available soon or applied to any ppc
kernel tree?
This is in my to-do list for the near future, so it would be very helpful if
this were already done.

Best regards,

Alex

Assuming CPM2 => 82xx or 85xx CPU.

Yes.

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

Because I never wrote (or lifted from somewhere else)
the function to run the CRC generator for creating the
multicast filters (the CPM1 on 8xx has hardware support
for this).  I left the function there as a  place holder to get
promiscuous mode, and someone did finish that function.
It should be in one of the several kernel source trees......
If not, I'll try to find the patch and do it again.
