Eoe mac address now derived from unique mac.
The EoE MAC address is now derived from the NIC part of the first global
unique MAC address of the linked list of available network interfaces or
otherwise the MAC address used by the EtherCAT master. The EoE MAC address
will get the format 02:NIC:NIC:NIC:RP:RP where NIC comes from the unique MAC
address (if available) and RP is the ring position of the EoE slave.

This file shall give additional information on how to set up a network
environment with Ethernet over EtherCAT devices.
A virtual network interface will appear for every EoE-capable slave. The
interface naming scheme is either eoeXsY, where X is the master index and Y is
the slave's ring position, or (if the slave has an alias set) eoeXaZ, where Z
is the (decimal) alias address. Please provide a network configuration file for
any of these interfaces. On SUSE systems, these can look like the following:
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eoe0s14:
IPADDRESS=10.0.0.14/8
STARTMODE=auto
This will tell the ifupd to configure and open the device after it appears.
If the interfaces shall be part of a network bridge, the IPADDRESS line is not
necessary. Instead, copy the file script/ifup-eoe.sh to your systems if-up.d
directory (on SUSE, this is /etc/sysconfig/network/if-up.d), and customize the
included variables.
