Re: DPAA Ethernet traffice troubles with Linux kernel

This makes me really start to wonder if the mainboard producer Varisys/AEON
has Purchased MAC`s for these boards at IEEE

Uboot system info gives for both MAC adresses the value NULL ... and i have
checked the mainboard for any stickers regarding the MAC adresses but there
is none..

I also tried to just create a ethaddr, eth1addr and eth2addr as mention on
the Wiki..but no luck

You cannot just flip this bit. Universally administered addresses are
allocated by the IEEE. You need to purchase them from the IEEE.
Locally administered MAC addresses you can use, and any sane DHCP
server should work with them.

This also does not fit with mii-tool -R observation.
