[PATCH 0/2] reuse eth_mac_addr()

[PATCH 0/2] reuse eth_mac_addr()

[Danny Kukawka]

Two patches to remove custom .ndo_set_mac_address methodes
and use eth_mac_addr() instead since these functions to the 
same as eth_mac_addr(). 

An advantage of this change: eth_mac_addr() already
checks if the given mac address is valid.

[PATCH 1/2] 3com/typhoon: reuse eth_mac_addr()

[Danny Kukawka]

Use eth_mac_addr() for .ndo_set_mac_address, remove
typhoon_set_mac_address() since it do currently the same as
eth_mac_addr(). Additional advantage: eth_mac_addr() already
checks if the given address is valid.

Re: [Linux-zigbee-devel] [PATCH 2/2] net/ieee802154/6lowpan.c: reuse eth_mac_addr()

[Tony Cheneau]

Hello,

I believe the following patch should not have been applied and should 
now be reverted.
The reason is because eth_mac_addr() is not functionally equivalent to 
lowpan_set_address() that it replaces:
- lowpan_set_address() copies dev->addr_len bytes, where dev->addr_len 
is set to 8 bytes for IEEE802154 devices (this is an IEEE EUI-64 
address). Hence, the function copies the full 8 bytes of the address.
- eth_mac_addr() copies ETH_ALEN bytes, where ETH_ALEN is set to 6. 
Hence, the function copies only 6 bytes of the 8 bytes address. So, 2 
bytes of the address are never copied.

Does this sound reasonable?

Regards,
Tony
