[U-Boot-Users] HW Addr different to Vendor information

Hi everyone,

We are tring to get the ethernet working on our board. Here is what we 
have been trying. Our DHCP server gives addresses in the range of 10.0.1.x

Our vendor has documented that our MAC address is 00:08:EE:00:41:60 and 
LogicLoader (the default bootloader) would get an IP with this MAC 
address. It's interesting to see that U-Boot with the patches thinks 
that the HW Addr is 04:04:04:33:04:04

Any ideas, experiences?
