The "old" one could download over the 10/100 port. It was an option through the test menu. The new one won't download over the 10/100 port, this was in response to customers asking for the smallest possible boot rom image. > Note that there is a hack in the fec driver which munges the ethernet MAC > address for the FEC port by adding 80:00:00 to the number This will probably remain as the method for finding a MAC address for the second port on the CLLF. Embedded Planet has said they will sequentially update the single MAC address in the on-board EEPROM, and we can safely do this. However, I think it is always wise for anyone that creates Ethernet devices to request their own MAC addresses from the IEEE and use those. It allows flexibility and control during production. > ......... By the way, they > didn't _really_ sell you a board with a MAC address ending in all-zero, did > they? I have seen prototype and semi-custom boards from Embedded Planet that have been tested in their engineering department and rushed to customers (i.e. bypassed the manufacturing floor) arrive with all zeros in the MAC address (at least the last three bytes). I forget the magic rom command to set these. Call their support staff and they will straighten it out. -- Dan --- I like MMUs because I don't have a real life. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
