This feature allows systems to set a persistent system MAC address to be used with the TB15, WD15 and Type-C ethernet adapter. More information is available here: http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN301147/en This function works by a system specific MAC address (referred to as an auxiliary mac address) being programmed in the factory. When the driver for the type-c ethernet (in dock or dongle) is loaded the MAC address is supposed to be overridden with this value. To enable this in Linux a kernel patch is needed.
