OK.

As mentioned above it is strongly discouraged to use hard coded MAC addresses.
So they should not be included in the default env variables. You can (and
should) set the environment variables "ethaddr" and "eth1addr" on your board.
What's the problem with that?

Please do this test and let us know if the behavior changes.

My biggest problem with supporting you here, is (besides lack of time) that I
don't have access to an IXP4xx based hardware anymore. So I can't test
anything. Sorry.
