Dlink DIR-825 B1 status [updated] [status 3 - MAC addrs]

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi,

Right. Well, what I'd like to see in the short term is the .hints hack to
pull the MAC address(es) out - if_arge.c has some hack to do this. It's
terrible but it works.

In the longer term I'd like to see there be some generic way in the machdep
code to read in things like macaddresses from EEPROM early on, then
populate kenv entries with the relevant info. We can then modify if_arge,
if_ath to look at the relevant kenv/hints for "overrides".
