Subject: [PATCH] rose_dev: fix memcpy-bug in rose_set_mac_address
Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:27:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F71C05C.4040300@iogearbox.net> (raw)

This patch fixes a small bug in rose_set_mac_address. If the current and new
MAC addresses match, then nothing needs to be done. However memcpy was used
instead of memcmp for comparison.

The patch is against the latest net-tree.
