Why limit this to eth1addr? What's the chances that ARM systems may have more than 2 network interfaces?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
Good question, I have already asked myself this, so I have stuck with what I do know.
1. It has had the one ethaddr limit for a (relatively) long time, which it seems no-one else 'required''submitted a patch' to change it. 2. I only know (with my very limited knowledge) of ARM boards with a maximum of two interfaces as standard. 3. Why limit it to six (as in other parts of the source) ?
My answer: It is not my place to dictate policy, that is the role of the Project Manager. And no, that is not a 'cop-out', it is the only way to avoid anarchy.
