Re: [PATCH 1/6] mac80211: allow no mac address until firmware load

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



So I see three options:

1) Use 00:... and be happy. No problem with udev, we use an address that
is actually valid.

2) Use 01:00... and fix udev so it ignores it.

3) Use 44:44..., because it is what orinoco used and fix udev so it
ignores it.

I would go for solution 2, 00:00:00:00:00:00 is a valid address for a
device and multicast addresses are not, and that should be reflected on
udev's policy.

About persistent names, can we get a persistent name after the device
gets its MAC address? Before that, the device is not being used and it
does not matter much.
