This patch fix the issue of regenerating the mac address on every ifdown/ifup when you don't explicit set it up at the kernel. The fix makes it consistent with other drivers, and let people set the proper mac address with current known methods.
As it's also upstream, I don't see a reason not to take it. Will generate a new kernel deb file with the patch included, so we can test it before sending the SRU. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Ricardo Salveti (rsalveti) ** Tags added: armel -- Beagleboard-xm chooses a new IP address on each boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673509 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
