Adding RTL8153 support to rue(4) (actually cdce(4)) USB to Ethernet driver [SOLVED]

[David Horwitt]

... or, at least, worked around.

I added a SetEthernetPacketFilter request with wValue PACKET_TYPE_PROMISCUOUS in cdce_init() (right before the
cdce_start() call) and joy ensued.

Note that (PACKET_TYPE_DIRECTED | PACKET_TYPE_BROADCAST) did _not_ work, but setting the promiscuous bit was the
key.

HPS: thanks again for your help.

Cheers,
DH
