I was, since the MAC layer supported MACs with arbitrary MAC lengths (including 0) prior to build 105. I did a significant amount of work a few years back to make sure that all (or at least most, since VLANs were still a wart in dls) references to Ethernet and MAC address lengths and other MAC-type-specific concepts were removed from the framework and placed into the plugin modules. -Seb
