Multicast is still broken for big-endian architectures using via-rhine
(2.4.27-rc3). MC use on BE is rare (no bug reports!), but the bug is
fatal for anyone trying that combination. Jeff's got the patch.
A couple other drivers may be affected by the same thinko as well.
Hi Roger,
I have added your comments in "multicast-bigendian-netdriver" entry
in the pending bug list.
I asked Jeff about this but he ignored me, again.
Nudge accepted :) I've been more busy than usual.
I am worried because this specific area of code has been "fixed" at
least twice in recent memory, making Roger's changes the third attempt
to address this sort of problem.
I would really like to see verification of patches on the hardware
affected (big endian), as well as tests on little endian to ensure
nothing breaks, before applying them.
Jeff
