A program or shell script  in  U-Boot?  No  program  needed,  as  the
"setenv"  command  is a builtin. Youc an put calls to the "setenv" or
"askenv" in a text file (= shell script), use the  mkimage  tool  (-T
script)  to  make script image from it,. load it and run it using the
"autoscr" command.

Under Linux, you can use the fw_setenv tool provided in tools/env/

Note that ithe MAC address is normally  write  protected,  i.  e.  it
cannot be changed once set. This is *intentional*.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
