Subject: [U-Boot] Mac address warning
Date: Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:28:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51FAEF05.1050700@boundarydevices.com> (raw)

Hi all,

While testing Troy's usbnet patches, I was reminded of
this mysterious warning issued when the environment has
no mac address stored, but the device provides one:

	printf("\nWarning: %s using MAC address from net device\n",
			dev->name);

Why is this a warning? It's the out-of-the box default
for new boards who haven't saved a mac address to the
persistent environment.

Please advise,


Eric
