Usb_moded will generate a random mac address for the g_ether driver. Thus when plugging in the device repeatedly the mac address will not
change and udev rules / network manager etc will not think it is a new device each time.
This mac is stored using the default modprobe configuration and thus will be in /etc/modprobe.d/g_ether.conf
If this file exits usb_moded will assume there is a default mac set and will not do anything.
