[fedora-arm] Stable MAC address on the Cubietruck (again)

[Richard W.M. Jones]

I read the lengthy thread about unstable MAC addresses on the
Cubietruck from September.  However I'm still a bit confused about
what I need to do to get a stable MAC address.

Firstly my CT appears to have a non-zero SID:

  01c23800: 16516501 80808955 54494848 0500f05c    .eQ.U...HHIT\...

I'm using the following uboot and kernel, both supplied by Fedora 21
as far as I know:

  U-Boot 2014.04 (Aug 19 2014 - 00:11:39) Allwinner Technology
  1:      Fedora (3.17.4-301.fc21.armv7hl+lpae) 21 (Twenty One)

There are a few peculiar warnings at boot (see end of email), but
otherwise it appears to work.

However I don't get a stable MAC address.  It seems completely
random on each boot.  Today I've had:

  96:0c:ca:a9:c7:08
  7e:68:c9:80:b8:01
  ca:ea:b6:64:7b:5b

Any ideas?

Rich.
