From e0a23f3cf8410871d28fdd8f0806216848b357ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ferruh Yigit Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2021 12:59:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] kni: update kernel API to set random MAC address Previously used 'random_ether_addr()' API is removed in upstream kernel with commit Commit ba530fea8ca1 ("ethernet: remove random_ether_addr()") Replacement API 'eth_random_addr()' is around since v3.6 [1], so simply switching to this API without any version checks.
