Subject: [PATCH net 4/4] be2net: Fix to receive Multicast Packets when Promiscuous mode is enabled on certain devices
Date: Wed, 1 May 2013 14:38:24 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130501193824.GA3841@emulex.com> (raw)
When a user requests Promiscuous mode on SkyHawk-R devices,
the FW enables Desparate Promiscuous mode.
Due to this, we need to explicitly enable Multicast Promiscuous mode
so that Multicast packets are received as well.
This patch fixes that.
