From 70f8e78e150425b01c1099087ad3decacf7e4ccf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 16:47:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [RTNETLINK]: Fix IFLA_ADDRESS handling. The ->set_mac_address handlers expect a pointer to a sockaddr which contains the MAC address, whereas IFLA_ADDRESS provides just the MAC address itself. So whip up a sockaddr to wrap around the netlink attribute for the ->set_mac_address call. Signed-off-by: David S.
