We converted the entire tree over the print_mac(), and since the MAC_FMT stuff was therefore no longer used we could remove it. Some references slipped back in somehow, and thus MAC_FMT did too. There is no reason to keep around a global interface for _one_ user when that user can use the recommended interface just as equally as the rest of the tree which we converted. This is a pr_debug() statement we're talking about here. :-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
