+Subject: [PATCH 147/304] Updated smsc95xx driver to check for a valid MAC
+ address in eeprom before using smsc95xx.macaddr parameter passed on command
+ line.
+
+The built-in RPi adaptor will still get a MAC address based on the parameter passed on the command line as the RPi hardware does not have an eeprom,
+however usb->ethernet adaptors using the same driver should have an eeprom with MAC address as part of their hardware and therefore will use this
+meaning they don't end up with the same MAC address as the built-in RPi adaptor.
