Now I want to make it possible to set MAC address from Redboot, because in the initial state of hardware - MAC address is filled with 00's. What is the best way to change MAC address of ethernet controller from the command line of Redboot? Intel 82544 driver contains function "set_mac_address" and it is used in ioctl handler, but: 1) it doesn't write to EEPROM, so it changes MAC address only for a while - am I right? 2) MAC address is read during the network initialization in RedBoot, even if I change it from command line, I will need to ask for BOOTP again, right? -- Jacek Poplawski Software Engineer Silicon and Software Systems http://www.s3group.com The information contained in this e-mail and in any attachments is confidential and is designated solely for the attention of the intended recipient(s).
