Hi Alex,

I'm working on this driver. The porting progress is slow since I have
some other things to do.  Currently, the driver called age can detect
MAC address:

age0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>

If you're interested, I can send you my patch(against -HEAD).
