hi , I am using U-boot as my boot loader for Linux. I had set the Mac address of eth0 as an environmental variable in U-boot. My problem is if the Ethernet cable is in disconnected during boot up, then Mac address is not setting up (Means it is 00:00:00:00:00:00).If it is connected during boot up then the Mac address is correctly set. If the cable is disconnected the boot loader showing an error message like "No link MAC: error during RMII initialization". So what will be reason for this and how it can be solved With Regards, Tomy Devasia -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
