Hi Finn, > This fixes an old bug recently revealed by CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR.
Good catch. I'm not sure about the fix though. That variable ('addr') should be a ethernet hardware address; I'm surprised we're accessing past the 6th byte. The culprit seems to be this, where 'ea' is the address buffer: static void bmac_get_station_address(struct net_device *dev, unsigned char *ea) { int i; unsigned short data; for (i = 0; i < 6; i++) { reset_and_select_srom(dev); data = read_srom(dev, i + EnetAddressOffset/2, SROMAddressBits); ea[2*i] = bitrev8(data & 0x0ff); ea[2*i+1] = bitrev8((data >> 8) & 0x0ff); } } - where it looks like the condition on that for-loop is wrong; we're reading two bytes at a time there. Can you try the attached patch? Ben/Paul - any thoughts?

This means we will write off the end of the six-byte destination buffer. This change fixes the for-loop to only read/write six bytes.
