* [PATCH v3] linux-omap-2.6.36rc -- Consistent MAC address for BeagleBoard xM Adding a patch to linux-omap-2.6.36rc for beagleboard. Patch is adapted from one submitted by Mark Crichton to the Beagleboard Google Group (see http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/92d41bb344f8939b?fwc=1). BeagleBoard xM now uses the OMAP's die ID as a MAC instead of generating a random one (since it doesn't have an EEPROM to store it), so you have a consistent MAC across boots.

+Subject: [PATCH] Give BeagleBoard xM a consistent MAC address
+
+ Adapting the patch submitted by Mark Crichton to the Beagleboard Google Group
+ (see http://groups.google.com/group/beagleboard/browse_thread/thread/92d41bb344f8939b?fwc=1)
+ The Beagleboard xM includes an smsc95xx ethernet interface attached to the DM3730 via USB.
+ The Beagleboard lacks an EEPROM to store the MAC address, so the driver generates a random
+ MAC address on every boot. This patch instead uses the OMAP's die ID as the MAC address
+ (modifying a couple bits to make it a valid MAC), so that the MAC is consistent across boots.
+ A consistent MAC is important if the Beagleboard is to be used on a network with MAC filtering
+ and/or static IP addresses.
