Hi Joe,

thanks for the review. I think i'll drop the dynamic "ethernet variable name" 
support entirely. Two reasons:
 - it isn't really dynamic, eg. the function always evaluates the name to
   "ethaddr"
 - back then when i wrote the support for the board the name was "eth1addr"
   and mike suggested to use the by index function for the getter and a new
   function for the setter. But i guess its not worth the hassle ;)

btw, imho your solution introduces a discrepancy between the setter and 
getter. i hope it doesnt bother you if i don't adapt your solution. But thanks 
for the work.
