Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 21:56:45 -0700 From: Joe Perches <joe@...ches.com> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 01/13] etherdevice.h: Add ether_addr_equal Add a boolean function to check if 2 ethernet addresses are the same. This is to avoid any confusion about compare_ether_addr returning an unsigned, and not being able to use the compare_ether_addr function for sorting ala memcmp.
