From e8f479b11268af3f206d1580f6b0d572d6ecb4f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Greear Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 12:23:05 -0700 Subject: cfg80211: support configuring vif mac addr on create This is useful when creating virtual interfaces. Keeps udev from mucking with things it shouldn't, since the default MAC is never seen by udev when specified on the cmd-line during creation.
