Dear Kumar Gala,

Move to using the environment variables 'ethaddr', 'eth1addr', etc.. instead of bd->bi_enetaddr, bi_enet1addr, etc.

This makes the code a bit more flexible to the number of ethernet interfaces. Right now we assume a max of 10 interfaces.

Hm... where exactly is this artificial limit coming from? Do we really need it?

We need some upper limit to stop checking at.

It might be better (and more efficent) to iterate over the environment, and check each name against the eth*addr pattern.
