Dear Mani,

i assume you are using a board with SMSC911x ethernet chip? If so, this
discussion may help you:

SMSC911x (and others) do not work in mainline if no eeprom with MAC
address is present. A patch solving this issue is (afaik) in net/next.

@Wolfgang/Ben: shouldn't this be in 2009.6?

best regards,
Matthias
