There is a similar problem in the Acenic driver, it brings the link up and receives broadcast packets as soon as the driver is loaded. Mostly this is because the driver inits the chip and registers the IRQ handler at probe time, whereas nearly every other driver does this at ->open() time. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
