This commits fixes AttributeMACAddress for GREv6.
Error message: info: netlink: link dump failed: Length of MACAddress attribute not supported: 20
Reproducible by adding a GREv6 Tunnel:
auto gre1
iface gre1 inet tunnel
mode ip6gre
local 2001:1000:1000:1000::123
endpoint 2001:1000:1000:2000::123
address 192.168.123.1/29
In netlink The IFLA_ADDRESS and IFLA_BROADCAST attributes for all interfaces has been a
6-byte MAC address. But the GRE interface uses a 4-byte IP address and GREv6 uses a 16-byte IPv6 address for this
attribute. This patch allows for decoding a 16-byte value as an IP address.
DO NOT EDIT NLMANAGER SOURCES. This is a mirror copy of python-nlmanager sources. It was extracted and directly included here to support some usecases where user don't have python-nlmanager already installed on their system. So we decided to have local copy and build with it. It is the mainter responsability to keep an updated version of nlmanager.
