[U-Boot] U-boot networking not working

[Mark Underwood <underplank@gmail.com>]

Hi!

thanks for your quick replys. More helpful than the manufacturer thats 
for sure.

I totally admit that im a newbie at all this, so sorry if I dont 
understand things.

I was under the impression that the MAC address was supplied by the 
hardware supplier. (at least this seems to be the can in the PC world). 
Is this not the case in the embedded world?

Cheers

Mark
