Miller <davem@...emloft.net> Nack. While I appreciate your effort, the FDDI standard defines opposite bit-ordering for MAC addresses written in the dash-separated and the colon-separated hexadecimal notation, which makes your change invalid, sorry (you'd have to bit-swap them too and that would make addresses counter-intuitive). Please note that `ifconfig' consistently uses the dash-separated notation for FDDI interfaces too (I haven't checked other tools like those in the "iproute" package; they may be buggy). [I'd appreciate to be CCed on patch submissions to code I claim maintenance of too.] Maciej -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
