At least with the g_ether driver, you can actually use a fixed MAC through module arguments! A common fixed default wouldn't probably cut it if you need more than one g_ether device at a time, and a system-specific default has been used by Debian to add gratuitous systemd dependencies to Gummiboot ;) _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
