Ah this bug is mine.

I patches the etherH driver to derive the MAC address from the serial number.
I did it in the same way that I did it on the etherB driver.

I need to check this. The etherb card I had used 00 00 a4 00 00 00 as the base
rather than 00 00 a4 10 00 00 which is why RiscBSD uses it. Since then I have
notice twhat the TRM says but not done anything about it.

Something I need to clarify with Acorn ...

The etherID is 24 bits thus some addresses could become

00 00 a5 xx xx xx

if a base address of 00 00 a4 10 00 00 is used.

As I understand it the top 24 bits are preallocated thus such an address has
not been allocated to Acorn and cannot be used.

Cheers,
				Mark
