It's a user managed address. You should simply make sure the device is syncronized with the dev->net->dev_addr field. But you probably want to avoid doing that if it failed initially. There is no need to issue control requests you know will fail. Why the dev_info()? It logs info the user can retrieve with a simple "ip link" or similar. Seems pretty useless even as a debug statement? Bjørn
