Since iov_size() was checked before iov_to_buf(), we never hit this
error.  And if we did n->mac would be trashed (i.e. error handling is
not complete).

I think assert(s == sizeof(n->mac)) is more appropriate appropriate.
Also, please change ETH_ALEN to sizeof(n->mac) to make the relationship
between the check and the copy clear.
