From 948cd43fed7c7d919fa30e0609b2b5852c4503ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesse Brandeburg Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 09:43:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] e100: allow bad MAC address when running with invalid eeprom csum Seved Torstendahl suggested to let the module parameter for invalid eeprom checksum control the valid mac address test. If this bypass happens we should print a different message, or at least one that is correct, maybe something like below Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg Signed-off-by: Auke Kok Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik --- drivers/net/e100.c | 15 ++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/e100.c b/drivers/net/e100.c index 71c6d334bd7..135617c5941 100644 --- a/drivers/net/e100.c +++ b/drivers/net/e100.c @@ -2597,11 +2597,16 @@ static int __devinit e100_probe(struct pci_dev *pdev, memcpy(netdev->dev_addr, nic->eeprom, ETH_ALEN); memcpy(netdev->perm_addr, nic->eeprom, ETH_ALEN); - if(!is_valid_ether_addr(netdev->perm_addr)) { - DPRINTK(PROBE, ERR, "Invalid MAC address from " - "EEPROM, aborting.\n"); - err = -EAGAIN; - goto err_out_free; + if (!is_valid_ether_addr(netdev->perm_addr)) { + if (!eeprom_bad_csum_allow) { + DPRINTK(PROBE, ERR, "Invalid MAC address from " + "EEPROM, aborting.\n"); + err = -EAGAIN; + goto err_out_free; + } else { + DPRINTK(PROBE, ERR, "Invalid MAC address from EEPROM, " + "you MUST configure one.\n"); + } } /* Wol magic packet can be enabled from eeprom */ -- 2.11.4.GIT
