This allows one to create virtual interfaces that map packets to
or from specific MAC addresses to a particular interface.
+ Macvlan devices can be added using the "ip" command from the
+ iproute2 package starting with the iproute2-2.6.23 release:
+
+ "ip link add link <real dev> [ address MAC ] [ NAME ] type macvlan"
+
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called macvlan.
