What's exacly your problem. I don't understand. Do you use a dts to pass the ethernet mac?
[AM] I use a dts, and I was under the impression that U-boot should overwrite the mac-address
line before passing it to the kernel, so that the address used by U-boot is also used by the kernel. This is not happening, and I don't know why.
Is there another way to pass a mac-address to the kernel?
It sounds like u-boot *is* setting the address, but it was considered invalid? Or are you saying that the address you put in the DTS is not being overwritten by u-boot?
[AM] The address I put in the DTS was invalid. It wasn't being overwritten by U-boot.
What version of u-boot are you using? U-Boot is supposed to overwrite the dts in memory before passing it to the kernel.
[AM] I am using 1.3.0, actually.
