From 3a1521b7e5b6964c293bb8ed6773513f8f503de5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jay Vosburgh Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2007 13:33:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: don't validate address at device open The standard validate_addr handler refuses to accept the all zeroes address as valid. However, it's common historical practice for the bonding master to be configured up prior to having any slaves, at which time the master will have a MAC address of all zeroes. Resolved by setting the dev->validate_addr to NULL. The master still can't end up with an invalid address, as the set_mac_address function tests for validity.
