"Maciej W. Rozycki" : [patch] 2.4.19-pre7: A few declance multicast updates: Hello, It seems all Ethernet device drivers were bulk-converted to use the new common CRC functions. I discovered declance used incorrect endianness to calculate the sum for its multicast filter and had a few alignment problems there. I fixed these bugs in the MIPS/Linux CVS tree which is at 2.4.18 now. Here is the respective update for the official kernel. The bugs make the filter non-functional. Please apply.
