We have a board with 2 ethernet ports: one on the macb and the other on a dm9000-chip. Got them both working under linux but the dm9000 doesn't get a MAC-address assigned now. I would like to give the dm9000 its MAC-address in U-Boot via a environment-variable. Because I'm new to U-Boot, I do not see how I can initialise the dm9000 (eth_init()) and macb (which is initialised via eth_init() in eth.c). To me it looks like macb & dm9000 driver are using a different type of driver concept. How can this problem be tackled?
I don't know much about dm9000, but the macb driver is initialized by calling macb_eth_initalize() once for each instance you want to use. So assuming dm9000 has something similar, you'll just have to call both of them from board_eth_init() in the order you prefer.
