(I found such examples in some current micrel/ and amd/ > drivers.) You use a randomized ethernet address which can subsequently be fixed up by userspace, and we have very specific interfaces to make this very easy for you. It even sets an attribute which userland can query to see that the device has a randomized ethernet address rathern than a true assigned permanent one. -- 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
