Thanks for the note! I actually found out that in many cases, the
bootloader already initialized the hardware with the target 
MAC address so we can use this one.

For the case that it _isn't_ initialized already, is it the right
thing
to use a hard coded default MAC address to be replaced by the final
one
in userspace? (I found such examples in some current micrel/ and amd/
drivers.)

Using a fixed address is a very bad idea ...
