I can't list this boards exactly. For sure, I can say that the LaCie boards (netspace_v2 and cie) are concerned. For this boards a random MAC address is used and the computation is performed by the driver mvgbe. If this code is simply removed, the network initialization for this boards will break. I suspect a lot of Marvell boards from being in the same case. Regards, Simon
