Setting the MAC address

Hey everyone, 

Hoping someone might be able to give me some suggestions on how to program a new MAC address for the IMX53.

I just built a new board and my MAC is all zeros. 

I've looked over documentation concerning the IIM, but I'm confused on how to actually program the fuses. I've also seen that the MX53UG says that the fec.c is programmed to look at hardware but you can program it to look in flash or other places. 

Unfortunately, I don't have any flash on board. 

Does anyone know how to set up a new MAC address?

I was able to get an answer from Kevin, a Freescale rep in the Southern CA area. 

Just tell uboot:

setenv ethaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

setenv fec_addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

saveenv

reset
