get_smac function does not work correctly on virtual interfaces

[cappe987]

In the file https://github.com/cappe987/wiretime/blob/main/src/liblink.c.

There is a temporary workaround that just sets the MAC to AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA, but ideally it should get the correct MAC address of the interface being transmitted on.

Hi @Saavrm26
In trying to write some instructions for you I noticed that this was not an issue anymore. It must've been fixed when I did some refactoring. I'm not really sure myself how it would have occurred in the first place.

If you are still interested in contributing to some of the other issues you are free to do so. There is some explanation for setup in this issue #3. When I said "virtual interface" I was talking about veth interfaces, not VLANs. Veth is basically a virtual port, and are created in pairs that connect (like a cable).

Oh Thanks, I'll checkout issue #3
