Changes by:	pavlin@xorpc.icir.org.	03/10/30 11:37:41

Modified files:
	xorp/fea/: ifconfig_set_ioctl.cc 

Log message:
	Modify IfConfigSetIoctl::set_interface_mac_address()
	- Remove broken code for setting the MAC address (e.g., in
	case of NetBSD and OpenBSD). This broken code had the
	side effect of creating a duplicated interface (with exactly
	same name, but different physical interface index) in case
	of OpenBSD which is not what we want.
	- Remove compilation-time #error if there is no mechanism to
	set the MAC address. In that case allow the code to compile,
	but return run-time error.
	The reason for the removal of the compilation-time #error is because
	currently (NetBSD-1.6.1 and OpenBSD-3.3) do not support setting the
	MAC address. Further, setting the MAC address is not mandatory for
	the normal operation of a router.
