=========================================================
-
+ * A new device flag, RTE_ETH_DEV_NOLIVE_MAC_ADDR, changes the order of
+ actions inside rte_eth_dev_start regarding MAC set. Some NICs do not
+ support MAC changes once the port has started and with this new device
+ flag the MAC can be properly configured in any case. This is particularly
+ important for bonding.
