you're reading things incorrectly, or you didnt read the whole thing.  the 
fec_mxc driver is correct today.  its initialize function seeds eth_device-
>enetaddr with the hardware storage.  it is up to the common networking code 
to sync the environment to eth_device before calling the driver init function 
(which it does).  then the driver always uses eth_device->enetaddr.
