I'll play around with it some more, but at least that > mystery is solved. The 2nd LSB of the first byte just says it's a locally generated address rather than one of the officially-assigned OUIs. The 1st LSB of the first byte is the important one as that's what the Linux kernel checks and rejects if it's set (it also rejects an address of all zeros). -jim -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
