From 8c367fcbe6549195d2eb11e62bea233f811aad41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2013 17:34:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cxgb4: Do not set net_device::dev_id to VI index net_device::dev_id should not be used merely to indicate a VI index, as it affects the way the local part of IPv6 addresses is normally generated. This field was intended for use where multiple devices may share a single assigned MAC address and need to have different IPv6 addresses. T4 VIs each have their own MAC address.
