The MAC address might be good enough (due to len being 24 instead of the expected 20) though. Thing is that it's really hard to figure out (even at runtime) whether the kernel and machine are 64 or 32-bits. I'd think this is a kernel bug and 32-bit userspace should rightfully be able to expect 32-bit aligned structs, no? Actually fixing it in the kernel would not be trivial though. johannes
