From c3e252d08032de80e7c82759cc9763a310a97144 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Bauer Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2020 13:48:40 +0200 Subject: base-files: add function for generating random MAC This adds a function for generating a valid random MAC address (unset MC bit / set locally administered bit). It is necessary for devices which do not have a MAC address programmed by the manufacturer.
