The patch titled uml: use of a public MAC is a warning, not an error has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was uml-use-of-a-public-mac-is-a-warning-not-an-error.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: uml: use of a public MAC is a warning, not an error From: Jeff Dike <jdike@xxxxxxxxxxx> Downgrade one of the MAC validity checks. If it's one that could be possibly assigned to a physical NIC, then nothing will break. So, emit a warning in this case, but keep the requested MAC.
