Subject: [PATCH net v2 2/2] selftests: net: add test for destination in broadcast packets
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2025 14:17:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250826121750.8451-2-oscmaes92@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250826121126-oscmaes92@gmail.com>

Add test to check the broadcast ethernet destination field is set
correctly.

This test sends a broadcast ping, captures it using tcpdump and
ensures that all bits of the 6 octet ethernet destination address
are correctly set by examining the output capture file.

Thanks to Brett Sheffield for the initial selftest!
