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

Sorry, I replied too fast, It seems that I misunderstood your answer. How do you access the U-boot environment from the linux driver ? Is there a linux kernel library function to retrieve one element of a U-boot environment ? Does U-boot tell linux where the U-boot environment resides in memory ?
