Hi Philippe!

May be it is a little bit tricky but you can just read the u-boot environment from you Linux driver and use the "ethaddr" variable. I did the same for osk5912

Thanks, but I need something more straightforward. The ethernet driver in linux must know the mac address at startup to be able to have root on nfs.

Previously, the mac addresses were stored in the bd_info struct, but that has been removed, but alas not replaced by a common mechanism for all architectures.
