Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fixup packets with incorrect ethertype sent by ZTE MF821D
So here's another stab. The comments and the current implementation are
not in sync: any non-multicast address starting with a null octet gets
rewritten, while the comment specifically mentions 00:a0:c6:00:00:00. It
is certainly not elegant but re-writing all unicast destinations with
our address does come to mind instead of special cases.
This patch fails to handle the invalid destinations in either way so I
will send another one if you think it's worthwhile to go on. And it
seems I forgot htons but I need this device for work now so a better
patch must wait :)
