I just had to get in on the MAC address conversation, but in a different way.
I have observed on my omap1510inn based board that Linux does not correctly receive the MAC address unless I make use of networking in U-Boot prior to bootm.
This network access can be either tftp'ing a file to the board or running "dhcp".
Is there a way that I can set up the Ethernet chip (or is this in the board info structure that U-Boot shares with Linux?) to have the "ethaddr" MAC address without actually running a network command? I.e., I don't want to depend on a TFTP or DHCP server being present on the network in order to start Linux with a static IP and valid MAC.
