Michael,
Would the following be sufficient?
(1) The utility /bin/dbus-uuidgen is used to create a file
/lib/firmware/ssb/mac_address. The command to create this file if it does not
exist could be added to the scripts that use fwcutter.
(2) In drivers/ssb/pci.c, the firmware loading process reads the file, then
modifies it using the bus address.
I think this process would create a persistent MAC address that is unique within
the box, with a small probability of being duplicated on another machine.
Larry
