88df8ef59a [NET]: Don't exclude broadcast addresses from is_multicast_ether_addr()
The check for multicast shouldn't exclude broadcast type addresses.
This reverts the incorrect change done in 2.6.13.

The broadcast address is a multicast address and should be excluded
from being a valid_ether_address for use in bridging or device address.

c2da8acaf4 [ETHERNET]: Add ether stuff to docbook
Fix up etherdevice docbook comments and make them (and other networking stuff)
get dragged into the kernel-api. Delete the old 8390 stuff, it really isn't
interesting anymore.

2407534f8b [ETHERNET]: Optimize is_broadcast_ether_addr
Optimize the match for broadcast address by using bit operations instead
of comparison. This saves a number of conditional branches, and generates
smaller code.

bcd61272db [NET]: Add missing include to linux/netdevice.h
linux/etherdevice.h can't be included standalone at the moment, which
is required in order to sort the header files in the recommended
alphabetic order. This patch fixes that and is needed to build spider_net.

79165121bc [NET]: Add is_multicast_ether_addr() in include/linux/etherdevice.h
This patch adds is_multicast_ether_addr() to go along with
is_valid_ether_addr() and friends. It then changes
is_valid_ether_addr() to use the new macro, and fixes up the comment
on that function to move implementation details out of the API doco.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
