Regarding: https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?t=3661
1. The reason hexdump fails is because of not using the hexdump "-v" parameter
-v
Cause hexdump to display all input data. Without the -v option, any number of groups of output lines, which would be identical to the immediately preceding group of output lines (except for the input offsets), are replaced with a line comprised of a single asterisk.
and therefor the c-style $(( )) arithmetic would fail if a group is replaced with a single asterisk
2. & 0xFEFFFFFFFFFF | 0x020000000000 should be replaced by & 0xFCFFFFFFFFFF as you want to zero the last two bits, namely Universal vs local (U/L bit) and the Unicast vs multicast (I/G bit), otherwise you will not generate a valid MAC address.
3. write MAC address in uppercase with the ^^
Current syntax won't work because it can't ping that kind of address, it needs an IP. I also increased the wait time to reduce unnecessary failures upon people taking more than one second to ping to ntp.
* Update cifs_mount.sh
Updated LOCAL_DIR documentation to cover new special "cifs" location
* Update cifs_mount.sh
Set initial value of LOCAL_DIR to "cifs"
