My concern with this patch is that iirc netbase isn't MACHINE specific - so if I have this layer enabled and build for another core2 machine I'll get these changes there too.

I don't know what the "right" solution to that is, though I muse some more below.

We can use a MACHINE specific override here, I think.

RDEPENDS_${PN}_sys940x += "genmac"

Ideally we don't want that interfaces file on non-sys940x machines, perhaps we could name the interfaces file differently and add a do_install_append_sys940x which installs the MACHINE specific interface file?

Cheers,
Joshua
