Hi all,
I am using an ethernet driver, working in Polling mode, ARM architecture. It works fine in Promiscuous mode. However, when the promiscuous mode is disabled, then the network operations are not functional. Does the Uboot network stack have any limitation, or is it a bug in the ethernet driver itself? Please share your inputs.
Your description is a bit vague... I don't know what type of traffic you're dealing with, what commands you're using etc. Enabling promiscuous mode essentially bypasses any hardware MAC address matching that your controller does and thus lets everything in. Since that works, the driver is probably fine, and I suspect that you haven't properly configured a valid unicast MAC address.
