How did you set this MAC address? Does the hardware read it from a
connected EEPROM or did you manually set it in your environment. If you
face the latter case, you could try applying the patch I sent in some
days ago. Without that patch, the hardware is not made aware of the
configured address and hence the internal filter will drop all
non-broadcast packets it receives.

With this patch applied, however, the LAN9220 chip works well on our own
PXA design.

Maybe that helps.
