Right,

Patch at the end.
When compiled as module use "modprobe fec_mpc52xx mac=foo",
when built-in add to boot line: "fec_mpc52xx.mac=foo"


As for link-up-printk in the middle of DHCP requests...
is it really that big of a problem?

This sort of things happen when printk doesn't have the whole
line... getting rid of link-up message would just hide it (it can show
ie. when an usb device is bound to scsi layer).
