How did you set this MAC address? Does the hardware read it from a connected EEPROM or did you manually set it in your environment.
It is manually set in the environment since the prototype hardware doesn't have the eeprom.
If you face the latter case, you could try applying the patch I sent in some days ago. Without that patch, the hardware is not made aware of the configured address and hence the internal filter will drop all non-broadcast packets it receives.
Applying the patch helped a great deal:
Overo # ping 192.168.0.1 smc911x: initializing smc911x: detected LAN9221 controller smc911x: phy initialized smc911x: MAC 4a:18:56:55:9d:38 host 192.168.0.1 is alive
Attempting dhcp still fails, but this is a big step forward.
Thanks much!
