Tim, please help! Gary is right "Multi-cast mode warning" means you will not support IGMP, that's all.

[ECOS] Multi-cast mode warning

[Tim Hatton]

Hello,
I am currently in the process of try to get eCos (2.0.43)  running on our
own hardware which uses a DP83848 PHY. I have used the exisiting DP83847
driver (which came with eCos) as a base and I have got to the stage where
the ethernet link is established. I am however getting the following warning
message when initialising the network:

[eth_drv_ioctl] Warning: Driver can't set multi-cast mode

Now, if everything worked I wouldn't be worried about this, but I don't seem
to be getting any IP packets out of the hardware (eCos is trying to send
DHCP discovery messages but they aren't coming out to the ethernet). I
suspect this may be a hardware issue but, I would like some confirm that the
warning above is or isn't anything I need to look into.

My understanding of multi-cast mode is that I shouldn't need it or care but
if anyone could confirm or deny this I'd be very grateful.
Best regards,
Tim Hatton

This is indeed just a warning and has no affect on normal operations.
Multi-case mode is only important for IPv6 and specific multi-cast
operations.

If you're not getting any packets, then you probably have a different
[hardware?] problem.

Thanks Gary,
That's was my assumption, I just wanted to hear it from someone else,
Thanks again,

Re: [ECOS] Multi-cast mode warning

Tim,
Can you please tell me if you were able to get the DP83848 to function
properly with the AT91RM9200? I have an application that is planning to use
the same DP83848CW Ethernety PHY with the AT91RM9200 - it would be very
reassurring to know that someone has successfully implemented these items.


Best Regards,

Randy Holmberg

I am sure, "[eth_drv_ioctl] Warning: Driver can't set multi-cast mode" 
doesn't interfere normal IPv4 opreations. Maybe there are some hardware 
problem, or you need double check the register operations.

I got this waring on my target using dp83902a driver, and it doesn't 
matter.
However I have added the multicast support, and will contribute it after 
full test.
