Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2008 09:10:29 +0000 From: Glen Gray <glen.gray@...cor.com> To: Francois Romieu <romieu@...zoreil.com> CC: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: Status of r8169 and Multicast Hey Francois, It's been a while since I've been in touch and it's been a while since I've been involved in the project at work that deals with these Set top boxes with the Realtek chipset If you recall, we had problems with kernels correctly accessing multicast broadcasts of our IPTV service (SAP announcements). You sent me a patch at one point but I never got around to testing it. To get around it we went with the Realtek driver which didn't seem to have the problem but which did have some freezing problems. You kindly provided a patch for this which seemed to resolve the problem. However, we've recently been made aware that there are still issues with freezing, especially during channel changes (subscribing to a new multicast address). I'm going to be looking into this shortly, but I was wondering if the current stable or development branches are known to have the previous multicast issues fixed ? From memory the device would come up as only supporting igmpv3 when we needed it to do igmpv2, I think this was why it couldn't pick up the SAP announcements.
