Can you use ETH_ALEN from if_ether.h instead of MAC_ADDR_DIGIT ?

Don't init static data to 0 or NULL.
It's done for us.

I don't understand the use of HIPQUAD() here instead of
NIPQUAD().  Explain?

Also, NIPQUAD_FMT (in kernel.h) uses "%u.%u.%u.%u".
This should probably be the same.
Or just use:	NIPQUAD_FMT "\n"

	for (i = 0; i < MAC_ADDR_DIGIT; i++) {

No braces on one-line "blocks", please.
