Here is something very strange.  In PPCBoot I set the ethernet address
to 00:a0:1e:90:15:55.

=> printenv
<snip>
ethaddr=00:a0:1e:90:15:55
<snip>

And PPCBoot uses bootp to get lots of good information about who the
board is.

Now, as I watch Linux try to come up I see the following:

eth0: FCC ENET Version 0.2, 00:a0:1e:d0:15:55
fec: Phy @ 0x1, type 0x000fd04b

Notice that the ethernet address has changed.  Very odd.  I assume that
this info should be passed from PPCBoot to Linux via the board info data
structure bd_t.

Has anyone else seen this before?

Thanks,
Andy
