Thanks both, it's making more sense now.
One thing I'm still unclear about: why does struct ethtool_usrip4_spechave
the ip_ver field?  The struct can't be extended to cover ipv6, because the
address fields aren't big enough.  So what's it for?

Also, would it be appropriate to use struct in6_addr for IPv6 addresses, or
should I use __be32[4]?
