So just kill one of them. > ndo_set_multicast_list gets the bullet because I believe that name "set_rx_mode" > is more appropriate. > > IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag is used so core know if driver handles unicast filtering. > > applies cleanly on most recent net-next with "[patch net-next-2.6 v2] bonding: use ndo_change_rx_flags callback" All applied, thanks Jiri! -- 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
