Previous > patch to address this problem loads the original MAC address from EEPROM. > But it brought other problem for which it is necessary to introduce a new > module parameter. > However, it might suffice to restore the initial MAC address before > shutdown/reboot/kexec and when removing the module. > > Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera <ivecera@...hat.com> Applied, thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
