Yes, the hardware address is mandatory (as the spec says, "This is used to
sanity-check the request, so it must be the same as returned in an ofp_phy_port
struct").
The connection object's .ports attribute stores ofp_phy_port info for each
port. Off the top of my head, it should be something like:
msg = of.ofp_port_mod( port_no=p,
hw_addr = self.connection.ports[p].hw_addr,
config = of.OFPPC_NO_RECV,
mask = of.OFPPC_NO_RECV )
self.connection.send(msg)
This probably requires that you're using the betta branch.
Hope that helps.
