allow SNP->ReceiveFilters to actually set SNP->RecieveFilterSetting.<br>
<br>
Also included in the patch are a debugging routine to display the<br>
SNP->Mode structure, a modification to snpnet_poll_rx to check if there<br>
is something to receive, a possible typo correction in snpnet_poll_tx,<br>
Michael Brown's change to open EFI driver protocols by GET_PROTOCOL, and<br>
a debugging check for failed calls to DisconnectController.<br>
<br>
The behavior seen in the Apple EFI (1.10) on SNP->RecieveFilters is:<br>
- Failure if any of the PROMISCUOUS or MULTICAST filters are included<br>
- Success if only UNICAST is included, however the result is UNICAST |<br>
BROADCAST<br>
- Success if only UNICAST and BROADCAST are included<br>
- If UNICAST, or UNICAST|BROADCAST are used, but the previous call tried<br>
(and failed) to set UNICAST|BROADCAST|MULTICAST, then the result is<br>
UNICAST|BROADCAST|MULTICAST<br>
<br>
Yes, this sounds broken to me, but it's the way it works.<br>
<br>
So, the modified code does tries using SNP->RecieveFilterMask, then<br>
falls back to UNICAST|BROADCAST|MULTICAST, then UNICAST|BROADCAST, and<br>
finally UNICAST.<br>
<br>
I'd be happy to do any further testing, or to clean up the code anyway<br>
you'd like.<br>
<br>
Sorry, I didn't configure my editor for tabbed spacing, so I hope you<br>
have a pretty-printer to filter through.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
