 * Changes:
 *
 * 2003/06/25 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
 *	- Fixed signed/unsigned calculation errors that caused load sharing
 *	  to collapse to one slave under very heavy UDP Tx stress.
 *
 * 2003/08/06 - Amir Noam <amir.noam at intel dot com>
 *	- Add support for setting bond's MAC address with special
 *	  handling required for ALB/TLB.
 *
 * 2003/09/24 - Shmulik Hen <shmulik.hen at intel dot com>
 *	- Code cleanup and style changes
