Changing my OMAP EVM board to newest uboot 2009-11 I do have a problem with ethernet. Although the kernel could be loaded via tftp perfectly, the upcoming kernel complains about invalid MAC.
Kernel command line: mem=128M console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/mtdblock8 rw rootfstype=jffs2 ip=dhcp ... loop: module loaded eth0: LAN9115 (rev 2) at 0x2c000000 IRQ 336 eth0: Invalid ethernet MAC address. Please set using ifconfig i2c /dev entries driver ... IP-Config: Failed to open eth0 IP-Config: No network devices available. ... After Linux has booted, I don't have an /dev/ethX device I already checked this: http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/EthernetDoesNotWorkInLinux but I am not expert enough to see wether the kernel has a bug. In /driver/net/smc911x.c the devinit smc911x_probe will generate the first message that something goes wrong if (!is_valid_ether_addr(dev->dev_addr)) { printk("%s: Invalid ethernet MAC address. Please " "set using ifconfig\n", dev->name); /driver/net/smc911x.c checks in smc911x_open() the validity of MAC, which seems to fail. /driver/net/smc911x.c calls SMC_GET_MAC_ADDR which is a macro in /driver/net/smc91x.h In uboot-env the Mac has been configured. "Warning: smc911x-0 MAC addresses don't match: Address in SROM is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Address in environment is 00:19:66:cc:44:ee" Loading via TFTP works OMAP3_EVM # tftpboot 0x80000000 evm/uImage smc911x: detected LAN9115 controller smc911x: phy initialized smc911x: MAC 00:19:66:cc:44:ee Using smc911x-0 device TFTP from server 192.168.90.230; our IP address is 192.168.90.200 Filename 'evm/uImage'.
