[U-Boot-Users] Stand alone app for changing MAC address in SMC91C111

[U-Boot-Users] Stand alone app for changing MAC address in SMC91C111

[Robin Getz]

I have created a stand alone application to change MAC addresses in the 
EEPROM attached to the SMC91C111, as well as the following commands:

  - P : Print the MAC address in the EEROM and MAC
  - D : Dump the LAN91C111 EEPROM contents
  - M : Dump the LAN91C111 MAC contents
  - C : Copies the MAC address from the EEPROM to the LAN91C111
  - W : Write a register in the EEPROM or in the MAC

It can be reviewed at our u-boot (based on 1.1.1) cvs for the Blackfin 
BF533 processor  at:
[sorry for the long url, but what can you do?]
http://cvs.blackfin.uclinux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/u-boot_1.1.1/examples/?cvsroot=uboot533

added:
    smc91111_eeprom.c
    README.smc91111_eeprom

Based on people's feedback, I will submit as a patch to this list.

One questions:
1) should READMEs for stand-alone applications stay in the examples
    dir, or go in the doc directory?

There are good reasons for both - but I would vote for leaving them in
the examples dir.  That's where I first find out about the examples
and I sure notice some docs sticking in the same directory.  So why
move the docs away as long as there's only one doc per example?

Of course that's only my personal viewpoint but I guess you also asked
for those ;)

Cheers
