# \[PATCH v2 net-next\] ixgbe: Fix for RAR0 not being set to default MAC addr - From: Tushar Dave \ - Date: 2016-01-07 22:18:01 - List: netdev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/netdev/2016/01/4655206 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/netdev/2016/01/4655206/t.md ```text commit c9f53e63c208 ("ixgbe: Refactor MAC address configuration code") introduced code that doesn't set HW register RAR0 to default mac address but FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Due to this, ixgbe HW discards all incoming packets that doesn't have destination mac address equals to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. This commit sets RAR0 correctly to default HW mac address.
