dealing with MAC address

[ashtonn]

Hello,
I am trying to fill a packet with source and destination mac address.
The first 6 bytes hold the destination mac address and the next six
bytes hold the source mac address. In the code i am filling in the
first six bytes to broadcast address for the destination.

# fill in the destination address
data = array('B', '\0' * 512)
for i in range(6):
data = 0xFF

How do i fill in a command line passed mac address for source mac
address. The first six bytes of data should contain destination mac
and the next six bytes of data should contain the source mac
address.

Thanks,
Ashton

Use the struct module.
