Grant,
How do I set the MAC address?
Badly, with an ugly hack. :-)
When my ML410 board boots its Hardware
address is set to 0. I looked through the message boards and can't seem
to find what Im looking for. Thanks for your help.
I set the mac addr with some Virtex specific code in
arch/ppc/boot/simple/embed_config.c.
BTW, Please at least CC: the mailing list when asking questions.

Pico cards pass the MAC address to linux via the board info struct -
doesn't uboot etc.
have a similar facility ?
Pico registered a block of MAC addresses, uses them as card serial
numbers and passes them via
board info.
