Re: [ECOS] Adding VIA RHINE driver to i386 platform

[Sriramkumar Raju <rsriramkumar at gmail dot com>]

Hi,
     I had booted the i386  platform with RedBoot + VIA Rhine Ethernet.
Now while booting i am getting the following message.

Ethernet eth0: MAC address 44:ec:00:00:94:eb
Can't get BOOTP info for device!

RedBoot(tm) bootstrap and debug environment [FLOPPY]
Non-certified release, version UNKNOWN - built 17:29:41, May 24 2005

Platform: PC (I386)
Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, Red Hat, Inc.

RAM: 0x00000000-0x000a0000, 0x000897b0-0x000a0000 available
RedBoot>


The MAC address that is being displayed is different from my board MAC address.
 
What i missed while porting the VIA Rhine driver to i386 platform?

Why  i am unable to get the MAC address that is in VIA RHINE controller?


Regards,
Sriram.R
