    be2net: restore properly promisc mode after queues reconfiguration · 52acf064
    Ivan Vecera authored
    The commit 62219066 ("be2net: Request RSS capability of Rx interface
    depending on number of Rx rings") modified be_update_queues() so the
    IFACE (HW representation of the netdevice) is destroyed and then
    re-created. This causes a regression because potential promiscuous mode
    is not restored properly during be_open() because the driver thinks
    that the HW has promiscuous mode already enabled.
    
    Note that Lancer is not affected by this bug because RX-filter flags are
    disabled during be_close() for this chipset.
