      Dear Kim Phillips,

Ethernet address:
 CONFIG_ETHADDR


CONFIG_ETH1ADDR

CONFIG_ETH2ADDR

hmm..historically ETHADDR has been the implicit ETH1ADDR.  Did you mean
to s/ETHADDR/ETH1ADDR/ ?  if so, you'd need a better justification and
a much larger patch.  Otherwise, please don't do this; add a
CONFIG_ETH6ADDR below instead.
No, numbering starts at 0 and matches Linux interface names.
CONFIG_ETHADDR  => "ethaddr"  => "eth0"
CONFIG_ETH1ADDR => "eth1addr" => "eth1"
...
CONFIG_ETHNADDR => "ethNaddr" => "ethN"
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
