[ETH]: ether address compare
Expose faster ether compare for use by protocols and other driver. And change name to be more consistent with other ether address manipulation routines in same file Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@mandriva.com>
