From 65189d284b48bd2e747e8cf9dfb0ff63b859682f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carolyn Wyborny Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:28:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] igb: Fix for Alt MAC Address feature on 82580 and later devices In 82580 and later devices, the alternate MAC address feature is completely handled by the option ROM and software does not handle it anymore. This patch changes the check_alt_mac_addr function to exit immediately if device is 82580 or later.
