This was how it used to be, but some people wanted to set arbitrary addresses (probably to deal with start up ordering issues). -- 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
