Re: [PATCH v2] net: r8169: Disable multicast filter for RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_46

[Patrick Thompson]

Hello Heiner,

I haven't heard back from realtek about the possibility that this
affects other MAC_VERs. Do you think it's acceptable to merge this
patch for now and if/when we hear back from realtek I can adjust the
function again?

Thank you,
Patrick
