Regarding booting 440 gr board / ibm emac driver

Hello Benjamin,
This is kiran here. I'm working on 440GR (Yosemite) board to boot linux-2.6=
.13.4.
Everything works fine execpt for MAC address. I saw the code in arch/ppc/pl=
atforms/4xx/yosemite.c; the code to copy the MAC addr from board info struc=
ture seems to be in place. I am  using IBM emac driver written by you.
Linux boots up fine and  in the booting messages , I see that the MAC addr =
is displayed as all zeroes. Also, the ifconfig displays the MAC address as =
all zeroes.=20=20

Could you please throw some light on the same.=20
What could be the issue? Do we need to modify the driver for MAC address is=
sue??


regards,
kiran

First, check that the code which copies MAC address is actually 
executed. Second, check _what_ is being copied by this code. Maybe 
board info structure contains zeros.

Do we need to modify the driver for MAC address issue??

No, you don't need to modify EMAC driver.
