           Summary: usbnet ax88172 mac address change broken
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.31rc8
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: drivers_network-ztI5WcYan/[email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
        Regression: No
When changing the MAC address on a NETGEAR FA120 (because an old one is registered with my provider) the replies to the traffic don't reach the system anymore, the NIC is dropping them, putting the NIC into promiscous mode will show they are properly replied to.

Searching around I found this patch from the openBSD folks
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg76418.html
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/usb/if_axe.c.diff?r1=1.91;r2=1.92
Looks like it is not working with the ax88172, but only with newer models. Still an error message would be nice when setting another physical address

It would be nice if some asix-competent person could take a look at porting that openbsd patch across, see if it fixes Karsten's hardware.

No one around to tackle this?
In any case it should reject the MAC adress change as unsupported

Thanks,
Karsten
