Hello!
I removed the config option, added documentation to Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt and created a new patch for the new net device feature.
One thought: if you have to add a new field to struct netdevice, it makes lots of sense to move further and to add special method dev->generate_eui64() instead, which will be initialized to standard eth_generate_eui64() for normal ethernets and to something private for your device. In this way we are guaranteed not to have problems of this kind in future. Alexey
