From c472ab68ad67db23c9907a27649b7dc0899b61f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Neukum Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2014 10:56:36 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cdc-ether: clean packet filter upon probe There are devices that don't do reset all the way. So the packet filter should be set to a sane initial value. Failure to do so leads to intermittent failures of DHCP on some systems under some conditions.
