However, changing the EEPROM MAC address is troublesome, because the /drivers/smc91111.c doesn't seem to support programming the attached EEPROM. (you can get_rom_mac, but not set_rom_mac).
Before I started adding things, does anyone else have the same issue?
Where exactly is the provlem? This case should be covered by U-Boot. See the paragraphs starting with "If the network interface stores some valid MAC address..." in section "Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces" in the README.
I have question regarding this section. If interface is able to store mac address in its own eeprom then _no_ definition in enviroment should _ever_ exist. What does point "o" 4th mean? Do you really want to allow U-Boot and (for example) Linux to boot with different mac address? Why?
