[PATCH net-next 1/8] etherdevice: Rename random_ether_addr to eth_random_addr

From: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>
Date: 2012-07-13 05:33:50
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Add some API symmetry to eth_broadcast_addr and
add a #define to the old name for backward compatibility.
