Detailed Description

Default constructor

Construct EtherMac from a string representation.

Throws: BadMac, if, the, Mac's, string, representation, is, not, equivalent, to, the, EtherMac's, string, representation.

Construct EtherMac from ether_addr.

[const]

Convert to ether_addr representation.

Parameters:

ea	ether_addr to store representation.

Returns: true on success, false if underlying string is empty.
