That looks ugly. I mean mac checks. Can we, please, use sane kernel API like
is_valid_ether_addr()?

Good idea! But will is_valid_ether_addr() check a larger range?
The comment of is_valid_ether_addr()(include/linux/etherdevice.h) says:
   Check that the Ethernet address (MAC) is not 00:00:00:00:00:00, is not
   a *multicast address*, and is not FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.


I am not good an expert at networking stuff, but can multicast mac address be valid for purpose of Wi-Fi adapter? IIUC it's can't, but as I said before, I am not an expert



With regards,
