Because of this patch I can no longer load g_ether module with host_addr= and 
dev_addr= parameters.

The module is always loaded using factory mac for HOST and random mac for DEV.

That messes up my setup a bit, as I use NetworkManager 0.7 on FreeRunner 
itself (and it expects DEV mac to be the same each time).

Would it be a problem to also include g_ether.dev_addr?

Attached patch solves my problem.
