I can't be sure, as I don't know how MAC is transfered into kernel (no
eprom) - that's what I ask for.
An older versions of uboot it works with the same kernel - so what
should I think about it?
At least things have been changed ...

In my first mail
(http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2010-January/066703.html)
I wrote that I have checked this and wrote down what I found out.
Probably it is due to my limited experience in this, that's why I
asked for help.
A "ifconfig" after boot will not help, as I don't have an eth-device.

Call me stupid, I just know this access : http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/
This doesn't allow a practial search (at least I don't know how) - sorry.
I am working puzzling more than a day with this - so I am not lazy with that.
I try my best.
