From 20f10aa07d8d4d43ae8e129c39a84e1670b0d5ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Fengguang Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 10:55:10 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] dm9601: handle corrupt mac address Some cheap devices ship with dangling EEPROM pins! They always return invalid address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. Inherit the auto-generated address in this case, so that these products can work with zero configuration.
