So, it looks good. ./drivers/staging/slicoss/slichw.h struct slic_config_mac { u8 macaddrA[6]; }; > if (is_zero_ether_addr(adapter->currmacaddr)) > - memcpy(adapter->currmacaddr, adapter->macaddr, > - ETH_ALEN); > + ether_addr_copy(adapter->currmacaddr, > + adapter->macaddr); > if (adapter->netdev) > - memcpy(adapter->netdev->dev_addr, adapter->currmacaddr, > - ETH_ALEN); > + ether_addr_copy(adapter->netdev->dev_addr, > + adapter->currmacaddr); > } > } ETH_ALEN is defined as 6.

Is there anyone who can confirm it? If nobody can confirm 'dev->addr_len' is 6 bytes, it should not be changed to 'ether_addr_copy()'.
