If we'd change it, then my vote wouldbe to change ethaddr into
eth0addr :-)

The reasoning for the name (as I see it  today  [which  is  different
from  the  time  when "ethaddr" was used for the first time]) is "MAC
address for the Ethernet interface as it's being called in Linux", i.
e. "ethNaddr" means "MAC address of the `ethN' network interface  (in
Linux)".

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

It may be bad manners to talk with your mouth full, but it isn't  too
good either if you speak when your head is empty.
