Subject: [PATCH] lguest: two net bugfixes
Date: Tue, 08 May 2007 21:22:53 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1178623374.7286.10.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
1) Bridging via host is broken: we need to set "promisc" bit in MAC
address published by the host so the guest sends us everything.
Thanks James Morris for the report (I don't use bridging).
2) Lguest network device uses 0 to mean "noone at this slot". It used to
use 0xFF, and one spot was missed. Minor: it just means we'll have a
useless extra transmit for broadcast packets.
