I loaded openwrt svn 16516 on my TEW-652BRP and noticed that I was getting 
random MAC addresses assigned:
        ar71xx: using random MAC address for eth0
        ar71xx: using random MAC address for eth1

My investigation of this lead me to examine the following files:

target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ar71xx/devices.c
target/linux/ar71xx/files/arch/mips/ar71xx/prom.c
target/linux/generic-2.6/files/arch/mips/fw/myloader/myloader.c
target/linux/generic-2.6/files/include/linux/myloader.h

dmesg reports the following message from prom.c and myloader.c:
        prom: fw_arg0=00000002, fw_arg1=8006040c, fw_arg2=00000000, 
fw_arg3=00000000
        MyLoader: sysp=ccc4fdcd, boardp=efbccce7, parts=cdedfcee

>From the above, I can determine that myloader_get_info() will return null, 
>because the magic values read above don't match those in myloader.h:
