if_re: Generate an address if there is none in the EEPROM

Description

if_re: Generate an address if there is none in the EEPROM

There exists hardware that has no ethernet address burned into
the EEPROM. Loading if_re on such a HW brings the device up
with '00:00:00:00:00:00' as the address, and that doesn't get
you too far in a real network.
