Cast to int will cause out of bounds reference on non-ascii strings.
The parser will get confused by:
    001:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff or invalid strings.

Why not use sscanf which would be safer in this case.

 *   A pointer to a ether_addr structure.

 * @return
 *   0 if the address is valid
 *  -EINVAL if address is not formatted properly

        int n;

        return (n == ETHER_ADDR_LEN) ? 0 : -EINVAL;
