Subject: handling MAC set by user space in reset_resume() of r8152

Hi,

looking at the driver it looks to me like the address
provided to ndo_set_mac_address() is thrown away after use.
That looks problematic to me, because reset_resume()
should redo the operation.
What do you think?

	Regards
		Oliver
