> [TG3]: Remove reset during MAC address changes. > > The reset was added a while back so that ASF could re-init whatever > MAC address it wanted to use after the MAC address was changed. > Instead of resetting, we can just keep MAC address 1 unchanged during > MAC address changes if MAC address 1 is different from MAC address 0. > > This fixes 2 problems: > > 1. Bonding calls set_mac_address in contexts that cannot sleep. > It no longer sleeps with the chip reset removed. This is arguably a bonding bug. > 2. When ASF shares the same MAC address as the NIC, it needs to > always do that even when the MAC address is changed. > > Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Applied, thanks. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
