Mac Address Initialisation on Linux 2.4.27-vrs1

[Stage Iup - Fabrice & Frederic <stageiup@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

i'm actually trying to use an Intel LXT971 Phy component with a AT91RM9200EK 
Based board (indeed, the only different component is the PHY, beacause we 
don't use the Davicom DM916) and i would like to know how Uboot and Linux 
communicate together to found the Mac address set in Uboot.
When i try to boot with Linux, i've got the following result:

we've got 00:00:00:00:00:00 even if it is set to 01:02:03:04:05:06. So as a 
result, i can't use ifconfig due to that

So does anybody have an idea on how about getting the right Mac Address by 
Linux?
