Maybe some confusion could be avoided if anything that reports
ethernet addresses to the user would use this same canonical format?
Right now when I boot 9load reports the ether addres in lower case
(via %E where it installed eipfmt from ip(2)
which uses %.2lux%.2lux%.2lux%.2lux%.2lux%.2lux)
ether#0: elnk3: port 0xDC00 irq 11: 00c0df15fb45
and a little later the kernel reports it in upper case
(directly via %2.2uX%2.2uX%2.2uX%2.2uX%2.2uX%2.2uX)
#l0: elnk3: 100Mbps port 0xDC00 irq 11: 00C04F15FB45
just my 0.02 whatever.
Axel.
