.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.PP
\fIconst u8 addr1\fR

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Compare two Ethernet addresses, returns true if equal, false otherwise\&.
.PP
The function doesn\*(Aqt need any conditional branches and possibly uses word memory accesses on CPU allowing cheap unaligned memory reads\&. arrays = { byte1, byte2, byte3, byte4, byte5, byte6, pad1, pad2 }
.PP
Please note that alignment of addr1 & addr2 are only guaranteed to be 16 bits\&.
