When an unprogrammed EEPROM is attached to a dm9000, the dm9000 will
come up with a invalid MAC address of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.  Add code that
gets enabled if CONFIG_RANDOM_MACADDR is enabled that generates a random
(and valid) locally administered MAC address that allows the system to
network boot until a real MAC address can be configured.
