Subject: [PATCH 1/5] virtio_net: Allow setting the MAC address of the NIC
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:13:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090116211318.22836.87192.stgit@debian.lart> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090116211312.22836.34331.stgit@debian.lart>
Many physical NICs let the OS re-program the "hardware" MAC
address. Virtual NICs should allow this too.
