There are many ways to set the MAC address with U-boot. you can hard code the MAC address in include/configs/xxx.h where xxx.h is your board configuration file.
You can also develop command to accept the MAC address and put in EEPROM of MAC controller. It is not so difficult. Go through the drivers directory and check the file for your MAC controller.
One more way of assigning the MAC address is asign it in your boot scripts using the command ifconfig eth0 hw ether MACADDR

Hi all!
I have custom designed ARM board, based on AT91RM9200EK reference design. Hardware works fine. And I have following problem: When U-boot loads Kernel image from tftp, everything fine. When U-Boot starts kernel from flash, then Linux cannot communicate to ethernet device. I understand, that this is because MAC address was not set by U-Boot. But I could not find a command to initialise Ethernet. Please advice, how to act.
Best regards, Jevgeni
