be2net driver hard-codes RSS initial key in RHEL 6
Issue
The initial RSS myhash value for the be2net driver is pre-set. As open-source software, this value is known. This creates a situation where someone could calculate the hash and creates a security risk. Additionally, when performance-tuning, one would be able to save clock time by having a symmetrical hash value.
