Some Linux drivers like the smc911x driver, as used on TQMA31, rely on the MAC address in the appropriate register, but U-Boot resets the controller after every transfer. A patch for the Linux driver is necessary to extract the MAC address from the kernel boot parameter line and set the MAC address register accordingly. This patch adds the paramater "ethaddr" to the U-Boot default environment so that the user cannot forget it.
