I see. This means there is another problem in this driver. The mac
address is set only once in the probe(), but as you describes, it must
be done in the init() entry point, else it cannot be overwritten by the
value of ethaddr. I will move the setting of the mac address in my next
submit, too.

Best regards,
Stefano
