Subject: [PATCH v2 8/9] net/pcap: support MAC address set
Date: Thu,  8 Jan 2026 17:16:25 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260109011755.362857-9-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260109011755.362857-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

Use rte_ether_addr structure to avoid memcpy and void *.

When using pcap on a single interface, it is possible for
driver to proxy the mac address set operation.
