Yes, right. Sorry about that. > Why does this patch help? It ensures that addr_assign_type is set to the same value as the parent device the dev_addr is copied from. The initial reason was that I found it strange to see NET_ADDR_PERM on a vlan device which had inherited a random address from its parent. But I haven't verified whether that the parent device actually can have an addr_assign_type != NET_ADDR_PERM for every driver included.
