My initial reaction is that I'd avoid using the term "random". For some use cases the address may truly be random, but for other use cases it may be derived, perhaps in an AP-specific manner. Other terms which may be more appropriate are "spoofed mac", "administered mac", etc. It is a shame that due to backward compatibility we can't use NL80211_ATTR_MAC while shifting the current usage over to using NL80211_ATTR_BSSID.
