Some Linux drivers like the smc911x driver, as used on TQMA31, rely on the MAC 
address
in the appropriate register, but U-Boot resets the controller after every 
transfer.
A patch for the Linux driver is necessary to extract the MAC address from the 
kernel
boot parameter line and set the MAC address register accordingly.
This patch adds the paramater "ethaddr" to the U-Boot default environment so 
that the
user cannot forget it.
