Re: [PATCH] Use a random initial value for next_radius_identifier so that the identifier is less likely to be reused when multiple hostapd instances are running that will appear to a RADIUS server as being from the same NAS.

[Nick Lowe <nick.lowe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Note: This is a largely cosmetic change as the UDP port will differ
and the Linux kernel will, these days, randomise the UDP port.

It potentially avoids a conceptual race in older versions of the Linux
kernel that are still in use:
