Date: Wed, 15 Jan 2014 13:23:35 +0530 From: Sathya Perla <sathya.perla@...lex.com> To: <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCH net-next 05/11] be2net: ignore mac-addr set call for an already programmed mac-addr From: Vasundhara Volam <vasundhara.volam@...lex.com> An ndo_set_mac_addr() call may be issued for a mac-addr that is already active on an interface. If so, silently ignore the request. Sending such a request to the FW, causes a "mac collision" error. The error is harmless but is avoidable noise in the kernel log.
