Luka, Tom,
I am very against this.
there already is `mac` command in cmd/mac.c with following help display and program the system ID and MAC addresses in EEPROM [read|save|id|num|errata|date|ports|port_number] mac read - read EEPROM content into memory data structure mac save - save memory data structure to the EEPROM mac id - program system id per hard coded value mac num string - program system serial number to value string mac errata string - program errata data to value string mac date YYMMDDhhmmss - program date to string value YYMMDDhhmmss mac ports N - program the number of network ports to integer N mac X string - program MAC addr for port X [X=0,1..] to colon separated string"
Why introducing new, vendor specific commands, when we have a global API for such a thing?
We lack a man-page in doc/usage/.
Best regards
