From 2afb9b533423a9b97f84181e773cf9361d98fed6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Pirko Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2013 12:41:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ethtool: set addr_assign_type to NET_ADDR_SET when addr is passed on create In case user passed address via netlink during create, NET_ADDR_PERM was set. That is not correct so fix this by setting NET_ADDR_SET. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
