Thank you for the clarifications. > Good HW design should use serial EEPROM on smbus to preserve the MAC > address instead like s2895. It is not my case. Sun Ultra40 has AT24C64, which has no MAC in it. This EEPROM looks smbus-unfriendly for it needs 13-bit data words. In any case, the original BIOSes contain MACs, serial numbers and other tags. > -----Original Message----- > From: Roman Kononov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Another point is that I've spent quite a bit of time figuring > out exactly why my networking is screwed and how it would be > possible to move the MAC address definition from the secret > file closer to the particular target configuration and the > person compiling it.

I panned to modify romstrap.inc and Sun Ultra40 mainboard's Config.lb, and put that mac_address.h into the target directory so that a potential user of linuxbios.org would be aware about all this.
