Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next] r8169: add random MAC address fallback
Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2019 20:46:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <637b6d1f-85b1-dc9a-8e77-68ffcd82eae9@gmail.com> (raw)

It was reported that the GPD MicroPC is broken in a way that no valid
MAC address can be read from the network chip. The vendor driver deals
with this by assigning a random MAC address as fallback. So let's do
the same.
