The "physical" address of the network card? That term is not defined anywhere in the specification. Perhaps it's best to explain that the config space "mac" field and VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MAC_ADDR_SET both set the default MAC address which rx filtering accepts. (The MAC table is an additional set of MAC addresses which rx filtering accepts.) It would also be worth explaining that VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MAC_ADDR_SET is atomic whereas the config space "mac" field is not. Therefore, VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MAC_ADDR_SET is preferred, especially while the NIC is up.
