Hi everyone,

We are tring to get the ethernet working on our board. Here is what we have been trying. Our DHCP server gives addresses in the range of 10.0.1.x

Our vendor has documented that our MAC address is 00:08:EE:00:41:60 and LogicLoader (the default bootloader) would get an IP with this MAC address. It's interesting to see that U-Boot with the patches thinks that the HW Addr is 04:04:04:33:04:04

Any ideas, experiences?

If this isn't a hardware problem, you may have erased your MAC address that is stored in u-boot's environment variables. At the u-boot prompt, run the command "printenv" and see what it thinks your MAC address is.

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with your hardware, some hardware has the MAC address stored in places other than in the u-boot environment.
