The code to get the mac address from CMOS (ET boards) is there, but i think there's a problem with the if/else and #ifdefine 386 such that after the ET cmos mac is read, it goes in again and sets it from an EEPROM read which is why we get all zeros. I didn't have the inclination to do a proper fix, just commented out the bad sections. I can send a diff if anyone is interested and has the Matsonic 7308ET board and doesn't want to make up a MAC address. I may try to borrow 4.6's if_sis.c and see if it compiles.
