Hello all,
I am wondering what I am doing wrong - the MAC address is correct in U-Boot but when Linux boots it resets to 00:00:00:00:00:00. My board is a powerpc32 - MPC8543_E based board, derived mostly from Freescale's CDS.
I have the following in the config header file: #define CONFIG_ETHADDR 00:E0:0C:00:00:FD
I set something else in the flat device tree: ethernet@24000 { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; device_type = "network"; model = "eTSEC"; compatible = "gianfar"; reg = <24000 1000>; local-mac-address = [ 51 5E BC EE 55 01 ]; interrupts = <1d 2 1e 2 22 2>; interrupt-parent = <&mpic>; phy-handle = <&phy0>; phy-connection-type = "rgmii"; };
So I tried to read /proc/device-tree/soc8548@e0000000/ethernet@24000/local-mac-address - and got the [ 51 5E BC EE 55 01 ].
But ifconfig shows: -sh-2.05b# ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet addr:10.0.0.247 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:30317 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:17324 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:13474224 (12.8 MiB) TX bytes:2330405 (2.2 MiB)
Any help would be appreciated.
