It refer to the 'eth eeprom defaults' command from this patch. The USB
device I wrote that for need a lot more in the EEPROM than just the MAC
address. This command allow writing the "factory defaults" in the
EEPROM. Somehow I have a feeling that such a command would make sense
for a few other use-case than just USB ethernet devices.
