From 5ea79631c0c47d28831a0635e8af9da539d449cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Buesch Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 18:04:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] b44: Truncate PHY address Some ROMs on embedded devices store incorrect values for the PHY address of the ethernet device. It looks like the number is sign-extended. Truncate the value by applying the PHY-address mask to it. The patch was tested on a bcm47xx embedded system (where the bug triggers) and a bcm4400 PCI card.
