From a22bb0b9b9b09b4cc711f6d577679773e074dde9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Francesco Ruggeri Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 15:29:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] e1000: unset IFF_UNICAST_FLT on WMware 82545EM VMWare's e1000 implementation does not seem to support unicast filtering. This can be observed by configuring a macvlan interface on eth0 in a VM in VMWare Fusion 5.0.5, and trying to use that interface instead of eth0. Tested on 3.16.
