Re: 8260 ethernet driver multicast problem

Hi,
    I am using 2.4.20 kernel. I have checked up the latest sources in denx.
Think the problem is fixed with the latest sources.
Thanks
Robin

Hi,
I was encountering a problem with the receipt of multicast packets from

eth

interface in 8260 platform. The issue was traced to the fcc_enet.c

driver. A

quoted

stray return in the set_multicast_list function was the culprit.

The following is the changes that I have made-

Can you please tell me whether there is any issue with setting the

multicast or promiscous mode. Was this change deliberately done or is it
really a bug?

Thanks in advance,

Robin, what's the kernel version you're using?

If you're using 2.6 there's a brand new driver you can use.

Has 8260 platform support been pushed out yet?
