I am just thinking about how to check, if user has provided the mac 
address or he want the random address.

Can we make it mandatory for user to supply the mac address always?

I am doing a memset to req. so req.result will be '0'.

There are two things:
1. application changing it or initially configuring
2. Change it via Linux - use ifconfig to change it. Application  need to 
implement the ops to get this information, so that it can update it in 
net driver.

I will, I want to first get comment on the idea.
