Hmm, could you do this a bit differently? Having an entry specifically for this device is clearly right, but I'd rather see a new flag defined meaning "ignore bogus MAC addresses" than have this always ignore the address. That way if the vendor fixes their bugs, Linux will be able to use the vendor's MAC addresses, which is a Good Thing. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: thawte's Crypto Challenge Vl Crack the code and win a Sony DCRHC40 MiniDV Digital Handycam Camcorder.
