The forcedeth driver currently implements unicast MAC address filtering in software. This is almost invariably the wrong thing to do (since the network stack must already be able to cope with unwanted packets) and it breaks FCoE (which requires the card to operate in promiscuous mode). Also, the implementation is buggy: is_local_ether_addr() is used to check for a locally-assigned Ethernet address (not to check for a unicast address), and the current link-layer address is in netdev->ll_addr, not netdev->hw_addr. Fix by removing this code. Reported-by: Tal Aloni <tal.aloni.il@gmail.com> Tested-by: Tal Aloni <tal.aloni.il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
