The default is 00:00:00:00:00:00, however with the version of u-boot supplied from the factory, these must match the hardware or configuring the network at boot time will fail, and thus booting from an NFS root will not work. Newer versions of u-boot support passing MAC address values through and would not need this fix; however in the absence of a safe established procedure for updating u-boot on these boards this workaround will have to suffice.

In the past, we've solved this by allowing the mac address to be specified via the bootline, which we could then simply drop into the boot environment and have it work more easily. I didn't think of this when we were talking about this issue, but now that I see the change ... it's been faulted into the right memory banks. I'll dig up these patches, and we can take them for a spin and hopefully we can drop this part of the series.

This isn't a bleeding edge board so that shouldn't be > difficult... That's definitely the right solution, and the one that I'm talking about again via the bug/email. The only reason we are not quite there yet, is due to an unfortunate board bricking episode. Once we've got jtag and a few minutes, we'll revisit the u-boot update (it should be trivial) and once confirmed simply go with that. So that being said, I'm definitely leaning away from any patches like this, just so we don't have anything to undo once later.
