It depends what framework you're writing your driver to. If it's raw
DLPI, it'll get a DL_SET_PHYS_ADDR_REQ DLPI message. If it's GLDv2,
it'll get called back via gldm_set_mac_addr(). If it's GLDv3[1], it'll
get called back via mc_unicst().
[1] GLDv3 is not yet stable. If you want to use it without being
regularly broken, you'd need to integrate your driver into the ON
consolidation.
