2 * INET An implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite for the LINUX
3 * operating system. INET is implemented using the BSD Socket
4 * interface as the means of communication with the user level.
6 * Ethernet-type device handling.
8 * Version: @(#)eth.c 1.0.7 05/25/93
10 * Authors: Ross Biro
11 * Fred N. van Kempen, <waltje@uWalt.NL.Mugnet.ORG>
12 * Mark Evans, <evansmp@uhura.aston.ac.uk>
13 * Florian La Roche, <rzsfl@rz.uni-sb.de>
14 * Alan Cox, <gw4pts@gw4pts.ampr.org>
16 * Fixes:
17 * Mr Linux : Arp problems
18 * Alan Cox : Generic queue tidyup (very tiny here)
19 * Alan Cox : eth_header ntohs should be htons
20 * Alan Cox : eth_rebuild_header missing an htons and
21 * minor other things.
22 * Tegge : Arp bug fixes.
23 * Florian : Removed many unnecessary functions, code cleanup
24 * and changes for new arp and skbuff.
25 * Alan Cox : Redid header building to reflect new format.
26 * Alan Cox : ARP only when compiled with CONFIG_INET
27 * Greg Page : 802.2 and SNAP stuff.
28 * Alan Cox : MAC layer pointers/new format.
29 * Paul Gortmaker : eth_copy_and_sum shouldn't csum padding.
30 * Alan Cox : Protect against forwarding explosions with
31 * older network drivers and IFF_ALLMULTI.
32 * Christer Weinigel : Better rebuild header message.
33 * Andrew Morton : 26Feb01: kill ether_setup() - use netdev_boot_setup().
