Yes, it is; but while the supplier provides a unique MAC address for each MAC they send out, they don't necessarily burn it in the HW: it is often configurable. Here, the MAC is configured from a u-boot env variable; but obviously, the MAC address specified in your u-boot environment is not a valid one (I needed a second look and a step backward to read it as "DEAD BEEF 01 01"). I suggest looking for your MAC address on a sticker or marking on the board, or a printed leaflet, or on the box. > Cheers > > Mark Amicalement, -- Albert. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
