This approach is inherently wrong, and I'm actually happy if you find it difficult to implement. Otherwise we would probably have rejected your code when you submit the patches.
MAC addresses are supposed to be NOT random. Please see the related FAQ, for example http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/WhereCanIGetAValidMACAddress
Hi,
I do realize that. The "random" MAC address is not forever. It is only to get the "actual" MAC in the first boot so as to not set the environment variables manually.
Thanks, Elison
