Setting the mac address in the bootargs will set the mac address permanently. The mac address keeps chnging on reboot as the designers forgot to wire an eeprom to the ethernet/usb controller

What should I use to set mac address in bootarg?

I've tried mac=XXX , smsc95xx=XXX , smsc95xx.macaddr=XXX ,macaddr=XXX
but none of them worked.

Any hint is very appreciated , thanks.

Best Regards

Try 
g_ether.dev_addr=XXXX

g_ether.dev_addr still can't fix mac address

I tried to patch
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-maverick.git;a=commitdiff;h=10f38b455e75b85f72e98786e5518cf7b0324634;hp=f62e143182cc123fdfdf9bb88952a938af7d86e8
on my kernel

but it still can't work.

once you have this patch, you need to add  smsc95xx.macaddr=08:00:28:00:60:01 in your boot args. and it works. that's what I am using.
