Title:
Dell dock MAC Address pass through doesn't work in Ubuntu
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
In Progress
Bug description:
Dell systems with Type-C ports support a feature called "MAC address" pass
through.
This feature allows systems to set a persistent system MAC address to be used
with the TB15, WD15 and Type-C ethernet adapter.
More information is available here:
http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN301147/en
This function works by a system specific MAC address (referred to as
an auxiliary mac address) being programmed in the factory. When the
driver for the type-c ethernet (in dock or dongle) is loaded the MAC
address is supposed to be overridden with this value.
To enable this in Linux a kernel patch is needed.
