netxen_nic_set_flags() rejects data if other flag than
ETH_FLAG_LRO

is set.

Driver also supports NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX.
Now compare data with ethtool_op_get_flags(), to get all supported
features.

Hmm, it would be really nice you provide more information for stable
teams.

If I am not mistaken, bug was introduced in 2.6.36 ?
No, It was introduced in 2.6.37, when ETH_FLAG_TXVLAN and
ETH_FLAG_RXVLAN introduced.

Yes it should also make into 2.6.37.4 stable kernel.
Applied, but 2.6.37.x maintainence has ceased so there is no point
worrying about this patch for that stable branch any longer.
I thought you will apply patch from Stanislaw Gruszka (net: fix ethtool->set_flags not intended -EINVAL return value), which is more generic and takes care of all drivers.

David, you are not cc in that patch. I will forward you, in case you miss it.
