Package: uboot-envtools
Version: 20081215-2
Severity: normal
when i try to use fw_setenv for the ethaddr variable on a Marvell
guruplug, i get this error (mac address is anonymized):
0 root@moo:~# fw_setenv ethaddr 00:f0:43:XX:XX:XX
Can't overwrite "ethaddr"
1 root@moo:~#
however, i'm able to reset the variable from the uboot bootloader directly:
Marvell>> setenv ethaddr 00:f0:43:XX:XX:XX
Marvell>> save
after which, the mac address does actually change (though i needed an
extra reboot).
So the source for fw_setenv seems to be unnecessarily restrictive.
Thanks for maintaining uboot-envtools!
