Help text

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.
