looks correct to me. you probably didn't set CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE.

I wish it was so: #define CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE 1 is present in my board file.

I've checked to make sure that it is the correct header file. I've also checked to make sure that CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE is not set.

I'm using the slightly outdated uclinux uboot from their head repo and I am checking the patches applied to the uboot head if any were to fix something like this.

sorry, should have been a little clearer. the tools installed by uclinux-dist do not have a config, so it uses the default one. the CONFIG_xxx settings in your u-boot don't get used. fw_printenv has to be built with those config settings. -mike
