What about the rand function? I guess that should be two compile time options
- CONFIG_RAND
- CONFIG_RANDOM_HWADDR
Any better names?
Please make this a single option, CONFIG_RANDOM_MACADDR. It appears nobody else ever needed a random number before, and we can still factor this out if another user pops up after another 12 years.
from net/net.c: unsigned int random_port(void) { return 1024 + (get_timer(0) % 0x4000); }
CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY, in net/bootp.c
note that if you do change this code, the 0x4000 clamp is important. read the git history of this file/func fore more details. -mike
