I agree this makes sense. Currently I'm forced to do it in a script. It's especially silly that uml virtual ethernet devices *don't* get random mac addresses automatically, while tuntap virtual ethernet devices *do* (in the same kernel tree!). > Conditions: the broadcast bit must be 0 and the "locally-assigned address > flag" must be 1 (as likely we already do). random_ether_addr() in include/linux/etherdevice.h already takes care of this.
