I can confirm that this check produces false positives on a range of

with but when I posted about the issue in the past I had several

I've tried this patch on NSA320, as expected it doesn't make any

that uses PCIe for Ethernet.

Re: [PATCHv2] bridge: disable snooping if there is no querier

On 25/07/13 14:56, Linus Lüssing wrote:

If there is no querier on a link then we won't get periodic reports and

These lost multicast packets can appear since c5c23260594
("bridge: Add multicast_querier toggle and disable queries by default")
in particular.

With this patch we are flooding multicast packets if our querier is
disabled and if we didn't detect any other querier.

A grace period of the Maximum Response Delay of the querier is added to
give multicast responses enough time to arrive and to be learned from
before disabling the flooding behaviour again.

Signed-off-by: Linus Lüssing


If the lack of queries if there is no other querier is unacceptable to 
the majority of users (and I believe it is) then surely the sensible 
option is to have the multicast querier toggle enabled by default.


The toggle was added in the first place because the queries were 
reported to be generating issues with certain other equipment. This may 
have been because the queries by default have an invalid IP address 
(although I have been unable to identify what equipment they caused 
problems with so can't verify this).


If the only reason to turn the querier off is because it interferes with 
other equipment then the solution to it being off by default isn't to 
generate queries in some instances even if it is off but rather to turn 
it on by default and only turn it off if it causes problems. If 
multicast_query_use_ifaddr was also enabled by default the the 
likelihood of the querier causing problems elsewhere should be reduced.

The function that is returning ENODEV is the driver probe function. According 
to Documentation/DocBook/writing_usb_driver/ch03.html when that function is 
called 

"The driver now needs to verify that this device is actually one that it can 
accept. If so, it returns 0. If not, or if any error occurs during 
initialization, an errorcode (such as -ENOMEM or -ENODEV) is returned from 
the probe function."

It isn't a device the driver can accept so it returns -ENODEV

Unfortunately Belkin have sold both RT73 and RT2500 devices with
that USB ID. You don't say what distro you are runing or what version
of RT2x00 it ships with but last time I checked with the git version of
rt2x00 it tried to load both drivers but the rt2500 driver noticed it was the 
wrong hardware and shut down.

My Belkin stick is busy right now but I'll test that still works later.

There are a few such devices but they are all cases where there are reliable 
reports of manufacturers shipping both device types with one USB ID. There 
are some cases where the alternate chipset with the same USB ID isn't even a 
ralink device but there isn't much we can do about those.

Re: [Rt2400-devel] [PATCH] rt2500usb - Don't claim 050d:705{0/a}

 I have a Belkin USB Wireless adapter with ID 050d:705a.
 Both rt2500usb.c and rt73usb.c claim that they can drive the device with
 this ID.

 When using the distro kernel as well as custom 2.4.24-rc1 both rt73usb and
 rt2500usb get loaded and fight for the register writes and fail. rt2500usb
 is not able to drive my device. So I have to manually rmmod/modprobe or
 delete rt2500usb.ko and depmod every time I get a new kernel.

 If only rt73usb is loaded everything works well. To me it
 sounds like rt2500usb should not be driving 050d:705a.


Unfortunately Belkin have sold both RT73 and RT2500 devices with
that USB ID. You don't say what distro you are runing or what version
of RT2x00 it ships with but last time I checked with the git version of
rt2x00 it tried to load both drivers but the rt2500 driver noticed it was the 
wrong hardware and shut down.

My Belkin stick is busy right now but I'll test that still works later.

 There is another ID 050d:7050 which is also claimed to be handled by both
 rt3500usb and rt73usb. Assuming rt73usb can drive this as well (I have no
 way to be sure as I don't have device with this ID) the following patch
 makes sure only rt73usb claims the 2 devices.


There are a few such devices but they are all cases where there are reliable 
reports of manufacturers shipping both device types with one USB ID. There 
are some cases where the alternate chipset with the same USB ID isn't even a 
ralink device but there isn't much we can do about those.
