This patch changes when we decide what the device's MAC address
is from per ifconfig up to once when the device is connected.

Without this patch, a manually forced device MAC is overwritten
on ifconfig down/up.  Also devices that have no EEPROM are
assigned a new random address on ifconfig down/up instead of
persisting the same one.
