[B.A.T.M.A.N.] Consistent bat0 hardware address?

[Jonathan Haws]

Is there a way to ensure that the assigned hardware address for bat0 is
consistent?  What I would like to have is keep the hardware address the
same across reboots.  Can this be done?  Would it be done through
/etc/udev/rules.d?  Or some other mechanism?

Thanks!
Jon

Yes, I'd suggest using udev for this. batman-adv generates a random address
every time it creates a new batX interface, therefore you need to use some
userspace tool to make it static.
