Now "address" will be accepted, but "addr" won't.
But it seems "addr" is a valid specifier too:

bash-3.2# ip link set eth1 address 00:11:22:33:44:55
SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device

bash-3.2# ip link set eth1 addr 00:11:22:33:44:55
SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device

bash-3.2# ip link set eth1 adzdr 00:11:22:33:44:55
Error: either "dev" is duplicate, or "adzdr" is a garbage.

Obviously, it wasn't upset by addr.

The above is from iproute2-2.6.16-060323.
