Comment 85 for bug 562742

ok, so I made the same edits as per http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=78f1cd02457252e1ffbc6caa44a17424a45286b8

(Because I couldn't work out how to generate a patch myself)

This has fixed the problem.

-Cold boot into 2.6.34-rc6. Devices report predicted mac addresses (and work)
-Soft reboot into 2.6.34-rc6. Devices report predicted mac addresses (and work)
