Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] etherdevice.h: Add is_unicast_ether_addr function
Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 09:14:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1294906496-14950-1-git-send-email-tklauser@distanz.ch> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110112.234250.10542369.davem@davemloft.net>
>From a check for !is_multicast_ether_addr it is not always obvious that
we're checking for a unicast address. So add this helper function to
make those code paths easier to read.
