THis is infact only relevant when IPv6 addressing is used.

addrgenmode eui64|none|stable_secret|random
       set the IPv6 address generation mode

       eui64 - use a Modified EUI-64 format interface identifier

       none - disable automatic address generation

       stable_secret - generate the interface identifier based on
       a preset
         /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/{default,DEVICE}/stable_secret

       random - like stable_secret, but auto-generate a new
       random secret if none is set
