I compiled kernel with smsc mac address patch because pandaboard choose random address on every boot. But you are free to use any kernel rpm which best suite your needs.
This patch isn't needed anymore. The latest kernels only generate a random MAC address once on boot which allows you to manually set the MAC address with this line in your ifcfg-eth0(*) file: MACADDR=01:02:03:04:05:06
Ah, well, when doing root-over-nfs you probably still need the setting? Or are the ifcfg-* files included in the initramfs?
Thanks, Niels
- It's eth0 now with 2.6.39, not usb0

(Also, I need to update my blog post: apparently Ubuntu has a different patch that generates a mostly-unique MAC address based on the board's die id.)
