Dear "Michael Walle",
In message 45fd92b472c944e2cb9ebb409488ccfc.squirrel@ssl.serverraum.org you wrote:
If someone will mess up the environment, it is possible to clear it by holding a button upon powerup. Atm i have the CONFIG_ETH_ADDR set to a default MAC address to be able to use the network console with the default environment. To restore the original MAC address, a user have to manually replace ethaddr with the one printed on the case.
But now, if i can't use the CONFIG_ETH_ADDR, i think i'm stuck :) Or do i miss something? (Yeah there may be the MAC randomization, if accepted).
There are more clever ways than just to clear the environment. We have "env export" and "env import", so you can create one or more backup copies or user proviles. Instead of clearing the environment, you could also load one such previously saved user profile, which then would contain the MAC address.
Best regards,
