These strings are null-terminated, not padded to ETH_GSTRING_LEN.  So
here you should be using strlcpy() instead of memcpy().

Isn't this missing a << 32?

Does reading the high 32 bits latch the value of the low 32 bits?  If
not, you need to read the high bits again after the low bits and retry
if they changed.

Redundant cast.
