You didn't search enough ...

[root@EmbeddedLinux /root]$ifconfig eth0 hw ether 01:02:03:04:05:06
SIOCSIFHWADDR: Cannot assign requested address

does it mean that it can't access to an hardware address?

It only means the MAC address you provide is not valid ...

Look into u-boot/tools/gen_eth_addr to generate a "valid" mac address.
