Only add him in mail. He is the maintainer for net code. >> From the name it seems you set the controller in loopback, instead of >> disabling it. Is it correct ? >> > > mmn.

However, this function is thought to put the controller in a not operative state. It is a good law to leave your hardware disable and let the kernel to reinitialize it again when your system boots. > I refer to the newest net driver patch ftgmac100.c, it uses this > function to get > mac address from environmental setting. and I checked the > code eth_getenv_enetaddr > also call the is_valid_ether_addr(). I checked this driver, too.IMHO it is wrong, and I do not know why in ftgmac100_set_mac_from_env() is called getenv instead of using directly the values in dev->enetaddr. Anyway, I missed my chance to send my comments ;-) You can check in other drivers in drivers/net, most of them do not call getenv, because the net subsystem is responsible to do this.
