When an unprogrammed EEPROM is attached to a dm9000, the dm9000 will come up with a invalid MAC address of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. Add code that gets enabled if CONFIG_RANDOM_MACADDR is enabled that generates a random (and valid) locally administered MAC address that allows the system to network boot until a real MAC address can be configured.
