Otherwise, a random ethernet address must be assigned. get_registers() returns 0 if successful, and negative error number otherwise. However, in set_ethernet_addr(), this return value is incorrectly checked. Since this return value will never be equal to sizeof(node_id), a random MAC address will always be generated and assigned to the device; even in cases when get_registers() is successful. Correctly modifying the condition that checks if get_registers() was successful or not fixes this problem, and copies the ethernet address appropriately.
