Re: [PATCH] Fix byte-swapped ethernet addr for Asante Fast 10/100 PCI Adapter

From: Michael Schmitz <hidden>

  Original:  00:00:B5:94:71:86  [INCORRECT]
   Patched:  00:00:94:B5:86:71  [CORRECT]

Is it sufficient to simply check the first two bytes of the mac address
to determine this?  (This is what the attached patch does.  I added a
check for the first byte being 0x00 for the Asante card.)

Should the first three bytes of the mac address be used intead?  (Note
that I can only identify 00:A0:CC as one of the Lite-On mac addresses
that would be matched by the code segment above.  I don't see a 00:C0:**
entry for Lite-On in the IEEE database.)
I'd check the first three bytes (after byte swapping :-) - there's plenty
of other OUIs with the leading two bytes zero.
