If this isn't a hardware problem, you may have erased your MAC address
that is stored in u-boot's environment variables.  At the u-boot prompt,
run the command "printenv" and see what it thinks your MAC address is.

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with your hardware, some hardware has the
MAC address stored in places other than in the u-boot environment.
