As for AT_ETHER_xxx as types:

AT_ETHER is actually the wrong name - the right name would be AT_MAC48 (or
AT_MAC_48, along with AT_EUI_64, as both "MAC-48" and "EUI-64" have hyphens in
the IEEE pages I've seen, but I digress...).

I.e., AT_ETHER doesn't mean "this is an Ethernet address", it means "this is a
MAC-48 address", so I don't see Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, 802.11, etc.
needing separate AT_ values.
