Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/3 v3] net: usb: r8152: Check used MAC passthrough
 address

Ok this now will claim only the first plugged in dongle. Probably as
you wanted it. But still breaking my always two ethernet cables and no
"lenovo dock" anywhere.

Still feels very wrong to me, but i have no clue how it is supposed to
work. Lenovo documentation talks about PXE use-cases ... which means
BIOS is spoofing and not OS. OS should probably just take the active
MAC instead of the one from EEPROM.
But it also has a link to one "dock" that is really just a dongle. And
the whole thing is super dated.
