From 489f01f806f865eabb55458c98182b06a6c53a62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ulrich=20=C3=96lmann?= Date: Mon, 6 Sep 2021 22:10:30 +0200 Subject: man/systemd.netdev: adjust documentation of MAC addresses for bridges In the past bridge devices used to be created with a generated MAC address thwarting the inheritance of the first slave's MAC address. This has been changed by commit [1] some time ago. Reflect that behavioral change in the documentation.
