Description Yan Vugenfirer 2012-06-04 13:42:52 UTC 
Historically RX filtering (multicast, vlan) was implemented in Windows guest driver as we had to pass WHQL and support for those features did not exist in QEMU.

It is time for Windows driver to use existing QEMU features.

Hi Yan, could you please tell us how to verify this bug? Is only multicast&vlan testing in windows enough? Thanks.
Comment 4 Yan Vugenfirer 2012-08-21 11:04:54 UTC 
Also run parts of NDIS 6.5 tests in WLK1.6 called "packet filtering" and vlan\priority.
