Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: ipv6: Generate random IID for addresses on RAWIP devices
Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2018 15:54:34 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1528062874-19250-1-git-send-email-subashab@codeaurora.org> (raw)
RAWIP devices such as rmnet do not have a hardware address and
instead require the kernel to generate a random IID for the
temporary addresses. For permanent addresses, the device IID is
used along with prefix received.
