The original flows are 1. Read MAC address 1 from device. 2. Check if the MAC address 1 is valid. 3. Use random MAC address if MAC address 1 is invalid. However, your flow would be 1. Read MAC address 1 from device. 2. Read MAC address 2 from ACPI. 3. Check if the MAC address 2 is valid. 4. Use random MAC address if MAC address 2 is invalid. Although MAC address 2 may be invalid, MAC address 1 may be valid. For this situation, you have to use MAC address 1, not random one.
