The vf's will start with > a zero mac and with upcoming support in fw/driver, a vf mac can be set > via the pf. vf's also support ndo_set_mac_address. This decision was made > based on the fact that a random mac on a vf is not really needed. And this > will reduce some of the problems with the vf's getting a new mac on > every driver load/unload (one of them being udev renaming the device on ever > load/unload and reboot). > > Signed-off-by: Roopa Prabhu <roprabhu@...co.com> > Signed-off-by: Christian Benvenuti <benve@...co.com> > Signed-off-by: sujith sankar <ssujith@...co.com> > Signed-off-by: ChingWei Chang <cwchang@...co.com> Applied. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
