This patch changes when we decide what the device's MAC address is from per ifconfig up to once when the device is connected. Without this patch, a manually forced device MAC is overwritten on ifconfig down/up. Also devices that have no EEPROM are assigned a new random address on ifconfig down/up instead of persisting the same one.
