Your reply does not answer the OP's question and is incomplete or
wrong.
The OP asked about the hardware MAC address, but you are probably
talking about the "ethaddr" environment variable, which is a very
different thing.
Also, if the "ethaddr" is write protected or not depends on your board
configuration.
