Hi Grant,
For Redboot you set the MAC in the config file.
The Ethernet driver typically provides this as one of its CDL options.
Is that what you're asking or have I not understood your question?

Also setting __local_enet_addr fixed that problem.

AFAICT, RedBoot expects the Ethernet MAC driver to know what
MAC to use without any "application" layer help. How is the
driver supposed to know what MAC address to use?
