The OUI part comes from "elsewhere". In the current kernel, that elsewhere is a hardcoded /board/compatible to OUI mapping. What I did was use the mac-address property to store the OUI. I think that makes a lot more sense. Actually, storing the whole MAC in the ocotp would have made a lot more sense! But it's one time programmable and that's the way all the boards were made. _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
