Subject: [PATCH v2] xen-netback: allow changing the MAC address of the interface
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2013 18:08:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1358878105-7890-1-git-send-email-msw@amazon.com> (raw)
Sometimes it is useful to be able to change the MAC address of the
interface for netback devices. For example, when using ebtables it may
be useful to be able to distinguish traffic from different interfaces
without depending on the interface name.
