BTW, if you're using a driver derived from the standard one, you'll see
that the MAC (more properly, ESA) address is pretty hard-wired. If you
get RedBoot running on your board you can have this information stored
in local flash configuration. Alternatively, you can attach a serial
EEPROM to the device and keep it there. In that case though you'd be
on your own since we've never had working hardware with the serial EEPROM
to test/support.
