This does it unconditionally, won't having eth1addr show up for boards
which only have one network device (WIFI or otherwise) be potentially
confusing for users? i.e. lacking it would be a sign that the online
guide you are following might not exactly be relevant to your board, or
people seeing it and then wasting time trying to figure out how to use
the second device. Of secondary concern (since I think it is far less
liklely) would be confusing some software somewhere.

Also what is the impact on boards which have a second network device
which does have a proper MAC address, either one which is part of the
board or e.g. on a USB dongle? I think we don't want to override any
burnt in MAC addresses.
