Just plain reading the subject, my first thought was why you weren't going to use ETH_ALEN. Would seem nicer to me, at least, to have something indicating a *string* in there, e.g. MAC_ADDR_STR_LEN or so. johannes

There are a few places in the tree which compute the length of the string representation of a MAC address as 3 * ETH_ALEN - 1. Define a constant for this and use it where relevant. No functionality changes are expected.
