Use ether_addr_copy() instead of memcpy() to copy the mac address.


Suggested-by ?


I'll add it. Sorry, I was not aware of the Suggested-by tag.

Btw, ensure that the source and destination buffers are aligned to u16
as required by API.

To be honest I'm not sure how to do that excactly.

Use __align(2) in the array declarations? e.g.:

u8 mac[ETH_ALEN] __align(2);

All initial function automatics are naturally aligned.

So there is nothing to change? Now I'm confused.
