    Change MAC schema generation (#715) · c73a12e0
    lemoer authored
    While ath9k/ath10k devices can supprt VIFs with any combination of MAC addresses, there are also adapters which have a hardware MAC filter which only allows a few bits to differ. This commit changes the addresses of all VIFs to ony differ in the last 3 bits, which is required to support many Ralink/Mediatek based WLAN adapters.
    
    Technically, the new addresses are generated by calculating an MD5 hash of the primary MAC address and using a part of this hash as a prefix for the MAC addresses.
    
    The addresses (BSSIDs) of the AP VIFs are also reused for the LAN and WAN interfaces in mesh-on-LAN/WAN mode to reduce the number of needed addresses, and thus reduce the chance of collisions. This is not a problem as the MAC addresses of the AP VIFs are never used except as BSSID, and thus not seen by routing protocols like batman-adv.
    
    Fixes #648
