Subject: [PATCH] man: systemd.link - explain random MAC addresses
|
|
|
|
Two of the bits in the MAC address are set unconditioanlly, and the rest is randomized,
|
|
make this clear in the documentation (as it currently read as if it was all random).
|
|
|
|
(cherry picked from commit 2e229e0c4c29e8a827be9ffe361741cf5e9aa7af)
