Subject: libxtables: Print meaningful error message for an invalid MAC address string
X-Git-Tag: v1.6.0~112
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2e5babbfaddb267523c8450acf51c06f00f492c7;p=thirdparty%2Fiptables.git

libxtables: Print meaningful error message for an invalid MAC address string

If an invalid MAC address is used on the commmand line, the error message
`ether' was not really describing the problem.
