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. Michael ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
