Subject: ax88179_178a: disabled FLAG_MULTI_PACKET

Hi,

ax88179_178a_rx_fixup() function is cloning the data and calling
usbnet_skb_return(). Since FLAG_MULTI_PACKET is not set,
usbnet_skb_return() is being called second time within rx_process()
function in usbnet.c.

I simply enabled the flag in ax88179_info as below -
    .flags = FLAG_ETHER..| FLAG_MULTI_PACKET

Ping stops working.

Could anyone please point out what could be the reason behind sending
same packets 2 times to upper layer (from usbnet and its class driver
ax88179_178a)?

In case of asix 2.0 driver, avove flag is set and it is working.

Thanks,
Vivek
