Incorrect multi-line comment style. Please fix globally.

Please drop these and use the real functions instead.

NAK.  We do not allow static configuration of MAC addresses.

Are you sure using  uint16_t  gives more efficient code than a plain
int?

make this a debug() ?

What do these magic numbers mean?

NAK.  Please do NOT use bit fields.  They are non-portable and
dangerous.
