CPE = Customer Premises Equipment or the small plastic box from your
ISP at home. The whole point of the patch is that the MAC stored in
the wifi EEPROM might not be unique and need to be overridden. I'm
aware of three different "home router", where each model has the same
generic ralink MAC address stored in the wifi EEPROM. This can cause
nasty issues.

I think we still want MAC from EEPROM instead of random one on systems
without OF. Otherwise we could just use random MAC every time, but this
does not seems lika a good idea.

Either I got you wrong, the code does something different than I
intended/tested or you misread the code.

I misread the patch. It's ok (except the changelog).

Thanks
