commit 7f29a3baa825725d29db399663790d15c78cddcf Author: Jussi Kivilinna <jussi.kivilinna> Date: Tue Mar 9 12:24:38 2010 +0000 asix: fix setting mac address for AX88772 Setting new MAC address only worked when device was set to promiscuous mode. Fix MAC address by writing new address to device using undocumented command AX_CMD_READ_NODE_ID+1. Patch is tested with AX88772 device. This patch fixes problem when asix device acts as backup slave in bonding mode=1. Without this patch device does not receive traffic unless it's put in promisc mode.
