Might be easier to just point perm_addr to dev_addr, but that would make it obvious that perm_addr is a bit messy. A wrapper for drivers that returns a pointer to dev_addr might be a better idea. Also, do we need to update interfaces associated with the master interface when the master MAC address changes? -Michael Wu
