Good, then later runs of the cubieboard2 have gotten a proper SID, that is good.

Which version of Fedora are you running on your Cubietruck ?

With the respin images the kernel takes care of getting the MAC from the SID,
with the official F-21 images, u-boot needs to do this, and the u-boot included
is (not yet) new enough.

The SID is in the SoC, it has nothing to do with the nand.

You can dump the sid by hooking up a serial console, and then pressing a
key to interrupt u-boot, then do:

md 1c23800 4

To get the SID contents, see here for example SID-s :

http://linux-sunxi.org/SID_Register_Guide

If this is non-0 on your cubietruck, then you should get a consistent MAC
with the respin images, and you should be able to get a consistent MAC
with F-21 by building (and installing) u-boot from here:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=summary

Those are the official u-boot sources, and those now have everything needed
to run F-21. Note do not use this u-boot with the respin images, that does
not work (yet).

Not that we know of.
