The first idea I get is: 1) Create netdev->validate_dev_addr(). 2) If it exists, invoke it before ->open(), abort and return if any errors signaled. etherdev init hooks up a function that does the above check, which allows us to avoid editing every ethernet driver What do you think? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
