hi.

i'm developing prototype modules[1] for a data link network using
EUI-64[2] addressing.

what i'm missing are macros for hw type and address length from the
kernel headers.

could someone please rewrite if_arp.h around the patch below? taken
from iana values

plus: to make my world perfect, maybe a macro somewhat like

#define EUI64_ALEN 8

not sure where this might go into...

thanx,
dns
