[U-Boot-Users] HW Addr different to Vendor information

[U-Boot-Users] HW Addr different to Vendor information

[Devraj Mukherjee]

Hi everyone,

We are tring to get the ethernet working on our board. Here is what we 
have been trying. Our DHCP server gives addresses in the range of 10.0.1.x

Our vendor has documented that our MAC address is 00:08:EE:00:41:60 and 
LogicLoader (the default bootloader) would get an IP with this MAC 
address. It's interesting to see that U-Boot with the patches thinks 
that the HW Addr is 04:04:04:33:04:04

Any ideas, experiences?

I believe this is related to the new card version problem I mentioned in 
previous post.

Let me know what version you have and if the workaround I posted fixes these 
problems for you.

I won't have access to my board till tomorrow.  I can post a patch then if 
this is the problem your having.

If this isn't a hardware problem, you may have erased your MAC address
that is stored in u-boot's environment variables.  At the u-boot prompt,
run the command "printenv" and see what it thinks your MAC address is.

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with your hardware, some hardware has the
MAC address stored in places other than in the u-boot environment.
