Hi Stefan/all.

Looking at possible values of dev->addr_assign_type I found out:

/* hardware address assignment types */
#define NET_ADDR_PERM          0       /* address is permanent (default) */
#define NET_ADDR_RANDOM                1       /* address is generated randomly */
#define NET_ADDR_STOLEN                2       /* address is stolen from other device */

By this it looks like dev->addr_assign_type value is always one of these 3.

But by the way the value is treated in dev_hw_addr_random() for example:
dev->addr_assign_type |= NET_ADDR_RANDOM;
It looks like NET_ADDR_* ought to be flags...

That confuses me.
