Message-Id: <1406202989-8047-1-git-send-email-oneukum@suse.de> Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2014 13:56:29 +0200 From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@...e.de> To: davem@...emloft.net, netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@...e.de> Subject: [PATCH] cdc-ether: clean packet filter upon probe There are devices that don't do reset all the way. So the packet filter should be set to a sane initial value. Failure to do so leads to intermittent failures of DHCP on some systems under some conditions.
