2007-05-07uml: improve checking and diagnostics of ethernet MACsPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Improve checking and diagnostics for broadcast and multicast Ethernet MAC addresses, and distinguish between those cases in output; also make sure the device is assigned a MAC address valid only locally to avoid collisions. Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2006-01-03[NET]: Don't exclude broadcast addresses from is_multicast_ether_addr()Stephen Hemminger
The check for multicast shouldn't exclude broadcast type addresses. This reverts the incorrect change done in 2.6.13. The broadcast address is a multicast address and should be excluded from being a valid_ether_address for use in bridging or device address.

2005-11-02[ETHERNET]: Add ether stuff to docbookStephen Hemminger
Fix up etherdevice docbook comments and make them (and other networking stuff) get dragged into the kernel-api. Delete the old 8390 stuff, it really isn't interesting anymore. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>
2005-11-02[ETHERNET]: Optimize is_broadcast_ether_addrStephen Hemminger
Optimize the match for broadcast address by using bit operations instead of comparison. This saves a number of conditional branches, and generates smaller code. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>
2005-10-29[ETH]: ether address compareStephen Hemminger
Expose faster ether compare for use by protocols and other driver. And change name to be more consistent with other ether address manipulation routines in same file Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>

2005-06-28[NET]: Add missing include to linux/netdevice.hArnd Bergmann
linux/etherdevice.h can't be included standalone at the moment, which is required in order to sort the header files in the recommended alphabetic order. This patch fixes that and is needed to build spider_net. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arndb@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-06-28wireless: fix ipw warning; add is_broadcast_ether_addr() to linux/etherdevice.hJeff Garzik

2005-05-29[NET]: Add is_multicast_ether_addr() in include/linux/etherdevice.hMichael Ellerman
This patch adds is_multicast_ether_addr() to go along with is_valid_ether_addr() and friends. It then changes is_valid_ether_addr() to use the new macro, and fixes up the comment on that function to move implementation details out of the API doco.

2005-05-05[PATCH] update Ross Biro bouncing email addressJesper Juhl

2005-03-10[NET]: Optimize is_valid_ether_addr()Stephen Hemminger
Low level optimization of the comparison with zero address. On most cpu's faster to use unrolled or rather than a loop and memcmp. This is in the fastpath of bridge forwarding. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2004-02-25[PATCH] remove init_{etherdev,netdev} and dev_allocAlexander Viro
These are racy by "design", and all users have been eliminated.
