Added smsc95xx.macaddr module parameter to allow the user to change the MAC address on boot if there was no MAC on the EEPROM.
NAK. Please see the discussion on this and ifconfig hw for other devices.
In summary - make the device refuse to ifconfig up without a valid
address, allow it to come into existance without a valid address and then
use ifconfig.
Your patch also seems to break if there are several attached to a board.
