Hello all,there's something I miss here. I'd like to setup a MAC address in software at the start of the boot process. I'm trying to figure out where this is done in the kernel code.
I'm on a custom variant of a Xilinx ML405 card, still in PPC arch.So it appears to be going in the arch/ppc/boot/simple/embed_config.c piece of code, but since I don't have I2C, the only 'relevant' code is this one:
#if (!defined(CONFIG_XILINX_MLxxx) || !defined(XPAR_IIC_0_BASEADDR) || !defined(XPAR_PERSISTENT_0_IIC_0_BASEADDR))
int get_cfg_data(unsigned char **cfg_data) {
#warning I2C needed for obtaining the Ethernet MAC address. Using hard-coded
MAC address
return 0; /* no cfg data found */ }Nonetheless, ifconfig (from busybox) gives me a proper MAC address (00:0A:35:01:02:03) and can even change it:
ifconfig eth0 down hw ether 00:0A:35:01:02:10 up But I want to do that before the network is up.What is the relevant kernel section to change in order to set the MAC address ?
Thanks. -- Guillaume Dargaud http://www.gdargaud.net/ _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
