# \[PATCH 21/50\] smsc9420: use dev\_hw\_addr\_random() instead of random\_ether\_addr() - From: Danny Kukawka \ - Date: 2012-02-08 21:20:58 - List: netdev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/netdev/2012/02/3819987 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/netdev/2012/02/3819974/t.md ```text Use dev_hw_addr_random() instead of calling random_ether_addr() to set addr_assign_type correctly to NET_ADDR_RANDOM.
