From 1c15b05baea71a5ff98235783e3e4ad227760876 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2021 12:13:45 +0100 Subject: bonding: fix ad_actor_system option setting to default When 802.3ad bond mode is configured the ad_actor_system option is set to "00:00:00:00:00:00". But when trying to set the all-zeroes MAC as actors' system address it was failing with EINVAL. An all-zeroes ethernet address is valid, only multicast addresses are not valid values.
