From 73c2ae763af0eaa1794dda68c63f97c2905722a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roopa Prabhu Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2012 22:12:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] enic: remove assignment of random mac on enic vf This patch removes random mac assignment on vf's. The vf's will start with a zero mac and with upcoming support in fw/driver, a vf mac can be set via the pf. vf's also support ndo_set_mac_address. This decision was made based on the fact that a random mac on a vf is not really needed. And this will reduce some of the problems with the vf's getting a new mac on every driver load/unload (one of them being udev renaming the device on ever load/unload and reboot).
