in which path has the uEnv.txt to reside in order for the extraargs mac address thing to work? ^^

FR^2: to be strictly accurate that depends on the u-boot env of your device. unless you changed it though I think just need to drop it into the top level of your first partition
<FR^2>
my sdcard only has one partition (ext4) where the /boot folder resides, so I'll try /uEnv.txt
<FR^2>
no success :/

FR^2: ah, sorry, just rechecked ... for an ext partition it goes under /boot
<bfree>
by default on a cubie1 that is
<FR^2>
I'll try that :D
<FR^2>
extraargs=mac_addr=3a:f3:cf:c5:d8:cb
<FR^2>
is the only line in /boot/uEnv.txt - should that at least be correct?

FR^2: where did you get that from? pretty sure that would just pass "mac_addr=3a:f3:cf:c5:d8:cb" as an extra kernel command line argument so it would depend on your "distro" what you would want. I suspect you probably just want (no extraargs): ethaddr=3a:f3:cf:c5:d8:cb
<FR^2>
I'm pretty much helpless differentiating all the forum posts and finding out what applies to my distro and what doesn't ;)
<bfree>
forget all that, read the last sentence again. just "ethaddr=3a:f3:cf:c5:d8:cb" should do I think (telling the board not your distro to set the mac address)
<bfree>
(ok telling u-boot to do it ... I just might be wrong of course and that might not work when you aren't doing networking with u-boot, in which case back to some extraargs schenanigans and my apologies)
<FR^2>
Yes, I'm aware that I can't take anything for granted :) I appreciate your help

no success.
<FR^2>
even adding "ethaddr=..." or "mac_addr=.." to /boot/boot.cmd didn't succeed.
<FR^2>
dmesg | grep "Kernel command line" doesn't show any change.
<FR^2>
Aha!
<FR^2>
I think I found something: /boot/buzz/cubie2kernel_config
<FR^2>
argh.
<FR^2>
it's just a folder I created to store some info.
<bfree>
boot.cmd (did you mean boot/scr) and uEnv.txt are different (but related) things ;) I think I'd suggest to stick with uEnv.txt. and just "ethaddr=whatever" won't work, that way (ethaddr) needs extraargs
<FR^2>
"/boot/boot.scr" is binary.
<FR^2>
"/boot/boot." is binary. Changes to "/boot/boot.cmd" don't seem to have any effect.
<FR^2>
"ethaddr=3a:f3:cf:c5:d8:cb" as the one line in /boot/uEnv.txt doesn't seem to have any effect.
<bfree>
you have to mkimage boot.cmd to get boot.scr (see first steps page in linux-sunxi wiki) ... btw re-reading it yet again I notive you don't have to put it into /boot even on ext* (it just checks in /boot first)
<bfree>
ok, then I guess it doesn't apply it unless you use u-boots networking ... so you probably have to do it via extraargs (did you try your "extraargs=mac_addr=3a:f3:cf:c5:d8:cb" in uEnv.txt ... not that I can find anything yet to confirm how that might/should work)
<FR^2>
Okay, boot.cmd -> boot.scr works.

you can set the mac address in the script.bin anyway (need to use bin2fex and fex2bin to edit it)
<FR^2>
I tried that as well and it didn't change anything.
<FR^2>
Okay, using /boot/boot.cmd -> /boot/boot.scr, at least "dmesg" shows the added kernel parameter "ethaddr=40:61:86:e9:82:12" now, but that didn't change the mac address
<FR^2>
trying with mac_addr

<bfree>
nah mac_addr is for u-boot, not going to work (afaik) as a kernel command line option
<FR^2>
hooray :)))))))))
<FergusL>
(did anyone order with dhl/fedex from Europe ? )
<FergusL>
(uh, to Europe that is)
<FR^2>
bfree: Thank you for your help, I finally have a static mac address :) *\o/* :D
<FR^2>
Finally I can reboot as much as I want ;)
<FR^2>
And I can delete the 40+ entries in my fritz!box :)
<FR^2>
And now I'll call it a day :)
