A MAC address of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff is the broadcast address, so that's a
problem. I'm not familiar with 440, but the thing is, you've got to find
your ethernet specific code in the kernel and see where it's getting the MAC
from. u-boot passes a bd_t pointer to the kernel (a struct with a bunch of
board data), but there's probably some kind of mis-match between u-boot and
the platform config of the kernel.
