Hi

Some days ago, Dan Searle asked for a mac match extension where it
should be possible to apply arbitrary masks to the mac address:
http://msgs.securepoint.com/cgi-bin/get/netfilter-0210/170.html

I extended the mac matching code and attached the patch to this
e-mail.

Although I think that this feature will be used very rarely it
might be helpful to have it in patch-o-matic. Anyway, it's your
decision. If you don't like it or believe that it is not useful
throw it away ;-)


Regards,

Thomas
