Subject: [PATCH] wireless: support configuring vdev mac addr on create.
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2014 11:43:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1412102605-3638-1-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)
From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>
This is useful when creating virtual-stations, and probably
APs and other devices as well. Keeps udev from mucking with
things it shouldn't, since the default MAC is never seen
by udev when specified on the cmd-line during creation.
