Hello
We are trying to create kni interfaces on the X710 ethernet interface, so that the function kni_ioctl_create() is called. But we falls to below ¡°else¡± branch and get a random MAC address on the created kni interface.
And we also noticed that, for igb/ixgbe devices, no above issue ¨C it goes with below ¡°if¡± branch.
Is there a plan to develop a function like i40e_kni_probe() to provide similar function of existing igb_kni_probe() / ixgbe_kni_probe()£¿Or can you please suggest a way how to set the real MAC here?
Thanks a lot.

if (kni->lad_dev)
memcpy(net_dev->dev_addr, kni->lad_dev->dev_addr, ETH_ALEN);
else
/*
* Generate random mac address. eth_random_addr() is the newer
* version of generating mac address in linux kernel.
*/
{
random_ether_addr(net_dev->dev_addr);
