Provide address list to mac80211 so user doesn't need to specify addresses when a second interface is added because the address can be allocated from the list by mac80211. The derived addresses have LAA (Local Administered Address) bit set, and only the first byte is changed. Take the 00:03:7f:xx:xx:xx as example to derive: addresses[0] is unchanged, it's still 00:03:7f:xx:xx:xx, addresses[1] is 02:03:7f:xx:xx:xx, addresses[2] is 12:03:7f:xx:xx:xx, addresses[3] is 22:03:7f:xx:xx:xx, addresses[4] is 32:03:7f:xx:xx:xx. However as only 3 addresses are reported now, so addresses[3] and addresses[4] aren't actually derived.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
