Subject: [PATCH v2] wl18xx: use locally administered MAC address if not available from fuse
Date: Wed, 8 May 2013 12:54:56 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1368006896-24468-1-git-send-email-coelho@ti.com> (raw)

In some R&D chips, the device may be left untrimmed and with the MAC
address missing from fuse ROM.  In order to support those devices,
apply a random locally administered MAC address instead.

Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com>

In v2:

* use eth_random_addr() to generate the locally assigned address,
  instead of hardcoding it. (thanks Johannes)
