Date: Sun, 29 Nov 2009 00:57:00 +0100 From: Florian Fainelli <florian@...nwrt.org> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net>, buytenh@...tstofly.org Subject: [PATCH v2] ep93xx-eth: check for zero MAC address on probe, not on device open If we happen to have registered the driver without passing a MAC address, we will print a zero MAC address and register the interface with this invalid address, this is confusin. This patch moves the checking of a valid ethernet address and the generation of a random one down from the open function to the probe function.
