Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH] net: dm9000: random mac address support
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2013 19:09:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131023000902.GA16893@gmail.com> (raw)

When an unprogrammed EEPROM is attached to a dm9000, the dm9000 will
come up with a invalid MAC address of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.  Add code that
gets enabled if CONFIG_RANDOM_MACADDR is enabled that generates a random
(and valid) locally administered MAC address that allows the system to
network boot until a real MAC address can be configured.
