/dev/urandom Yeah, there's the chance of clashes. In practice there won't be any clashes, however. If you think there's a real risk, you should start playing the lottery tomorrow. You'll immediately win a million dollars so you don't have to worry about those questions anymore. ;) In fact, I think the risk for mac clashes is not really reduced by generating the mac address from serial numbers, whatever, etc... -- Greetings, Michael. _______________________________________________ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/bcm43xx-dev
