Hello,

I wanted to check which MACs show up in brctl showmacs, and I would
have thought that brctl would have resolved the MAC addresses thanks to
/etc/ethers, so that instead of

€ brctl showmacs br0
port no mac addr                is local?       ageing timer
  1     00:00:12:34:56:78       no                 0.59

with 

00:00:12:34:56:78 myrouter

in /etc/ethers, I would get

€ brctl showmacs br0
port no mac addr                is local?       ageing timer
  1     myrouter                no                 0.59

and of course a -n option would revert to showing the MAC address.

What do you think of that feature?

Samuel
