[PATCH] bonding: ALB -- allow slave to use bond's MAC address if its own MAC address conflicts
In ALB mode, allow new slave to use bond's MAC address if the new slave's MAC address is being used within the bond and no other slave is using the bond's MAC address. Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
