I am sorry Charles, but it looks like I am confused. Here is the patch for
the modutils file:
@@ -27,6 +27,7 @@
umount) [ -n "$MOUNT" ] && umount $MOUNT
MOUNT="" ;;
dir) DIR="$2" ;;
+ LLADDR) ip link set $2 address $3 ;;
esac
continue ;;
esac
I see one case statement in the current modutils file, but there are two in
this patch. I don't see a case for the bang command.
Have a great day!
Geoff

Off-hand, it looks like you put the ip link set line in the wrong case
statement (for the module instead of the one for the 'bang' command
(!)). The diff sent to the list was actually tested by me, so I know it
should work.
