Looking at the code, I'm having difficulty explaining why it _wouldn't_ be
the correct address if your interface is working correctly. Can you do me a
favour and set a breakpoint in cs8900a_init, specifically around line 232
where the ESA gets determined? Does the call to eth_drv_init
(sc->funs->eth_drv->init near the bottom) have a sensible value of
cpd->esa?
