The issue happened at the initialization stage. At that moment, during normal rtnl_setlink call, the mac address is set and written in the device registers, but since the reset was not commanded previously, the mac address is not read from the device and without that, it always has the random address that is pre-generated just in case. After this, during open operation, the reset is commanded and the mac address is read, but as the device registers were modified, it reads the pregenerated random mac address and not the default mac address for the device.
Oh, I see, why don't we issue the reset and probe time, then?
