Register Byte Pattern for nfm

[Sebastien Lelievre]

Hi, I'm writing a filter above for an ethernet interface. I've first
register to all incomming packets by the following call:
n->reg_byte_pat(reg_hdl, 0, 0, NULL, _BYTE_PAT_ALL);
which work fine.
Then I try to register to only the ethernet packet that I want by calling
that line instead:
n->reg_byte_pat(reg_hdl, 12, 2, &pkt_type, 0);
Result is the same, all packet type are received from the NIC.

Any idea ??

Thanks.

Filters always get all packets. Just call ion->tx_done() on the ones
you don't want to pass up.

Do you then mean to say that reg_byte_pat does not work? Or it does not

work only with filters..?

It is ignored for filters only. Non filters don't get anything
until reg_byte_pat() is called at least once.
