Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 2/2] batman-adv: Backport dev_hw_addr_random
Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:35:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1329053731-4737-2-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1329053731-4737-1-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org>

910ccacb9dd2bfac8ce1ac411af514fe72fa84c0 introduced the hardware address
initialization using dev_hw_addr_random. This function was added to linux with
linux 2.6.36. Older kernel versions have to igore the NET_ADDR_RANDOM variable
and use random_ether_addr directly.
